    View in the Mirror

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and detailed mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    Depicted in this composition is an interior scene. It is very cleverly executed – at first it appears to be a view out of a window, before we realise after further investigation that it is actually a mirror reflecting the outside view. This mirror is atop a table covered in objects which appear to be balls of yarn. Surrounding the mirror are figurative drawings and paintings. In the reflection of the mirror we see a window sill lined with little pots, and outside we can discern a winter view with figures and a red tram.

    This painting offers such a delightful myriad of details to explore. Painted in an expressionist style, the distinct brushstrokes give this piece its painterly feel, adding texture and tactile detail.

    This large and very cleverly painted oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs and paint loss as shown

    Size: 77 x 62.5 cm (including frame)
