A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life in oil, depicting a group of objects on a table including a glass of purple flowers, a plate, and apples.

A charming mid century modernist still life in oil dated 1949, painted onto canvas which has then been laid down to backing board.

An absolutely lovely mid century floral composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
There is an element of intrigue when it comes to decoding this picture. Just entering the left side of the composition is the edge of the back of an artist’s stretched canvas, with the long stem of the iris flower in the middle, and then to the right we have what looks like a wooden beam at an angle. Is the canvas leaning against the wall? And the beam perhaps the edge of a window? Or is the artist actually facing a mirror, painting the reflection of what he sees, including the back of his canvas?
The blue that the artist has used is deep and rich. It draws you in and goes perfectly with the wood and gilt frame. The artist has painted the iris flower delicately and intricately, capturing its sumptuous colours and its tall, stout stem.
The painting is housed in a very well suited dark wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting has a very small area of paint loss to the bottom left section (as seen in close up photo). The frame has some scuffs to its lower edge. Overall the painting and frame is in good vintage condition.

A large and brilliantly executed mid century still life in oil, painted in 1948.
A group of fluted flowers sit within a simple cylindrical vase on a windowsill. The way in which the artist has painted the moonlight streaming in gives this painting its distinctly cinematic quality. The glow of the flowers underneath the moonlight add to this dramatic effect. The colour palette has a hint of melancholia, where deep colours of blue and green repeat throughout the composition, from the flowers, to the vase they sit in , to the sill and to the window. With its richly romantic character and its delicately balanced composition, this mid century oil would definitely add something special and elevate the space it is hung in.

A quaint mid century still life in oil depicting a jug filled with cornflowers and a single lemon beside it.
The style of the painting is reminiscent of the expressive still lifes by Modernist artist Vincent Van Gogh, particularly in the background where we see systematically arranged brushstrokes.
