    This work is defined by its simplicity and understated composition, with minimalistic details focusing on light, form, and atmosphere.

    The artist has used a restrained, earthy palette of soft, muted tones. The whites and creams of the window frame and table contrast gently with the greenish-yellow and brown hues of the serene landscape beyond, evoking a sense of calm and tranquility.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has a small area of paint loss at its lower right as shown in close up. The frame has some marks and scuffs.

    Studio Still Life

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century interior scene still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This richly detailed composition draws the viewer’s eye across various elements, each thoughtfully placed and imbued with vibrant colour. The scene appears to be a tabletop arrangement with objects carefully organised. At the center, a blue jug anchors the composition.

The objects rests on a checkered tablecloth, that adds structure to the painting.  Above these elements, a small framed image within the painting shows three abstracted figures. This inset image appears almost like a magazine cutout.
