A large and engaging mid-century modernist still life painting that presents an elegant arrangement of glass bottles and a ceramic bowl on a table, set against a serene coastal backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is framed by two dark vertical elements, likely window shutters, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the deep blue sea and a distant green landmass on the horizon. The bottles, both clear and green, create a mesmerising interplay of transparency, light, and reflection, subtly distorting the landscape behind them.

Executed in a modernist style, the painting emphasises simplified forms, clean edges, and a controlled use of perspective. The artist’s restrained brushstrokes contribute to a smooth and polished surface, with a focus on geometric balance and spatial harmony. The colour palette is carefully curated, featuring cool blues and greens contrasted with the warm reds and browns of the table. The overall effect is contemplative and refined, capturing the quiet beauty of everyday objects bathed in natural light.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary dark gilt frame. The is some minor craquelure to the bottom area of the green vessel, but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame is in very good vintage condition.
