It has an impressed signature and date: Bernard Buffet 57.

Iconic 50s kitsch. Buffet's still life pictures of flowers are renowned.

Buffet was an artist like Tretchikoff who rebelled against the abstract modernist movements and painted realistically. They both were excellent marketers of their work and Buffet's Paris agent Maurice Garnier made him the most successful French artist in the world in the 1950s and 1960s behind only Picasso. A example of this is the high quality prints to be found, like Tretchikoff's.

Like Tretchikoff, Buffet is experiencing something of a revival even in France. Read this interesting Independent article;
