A solemn mid-century still life composition that captures a tranquil moment with three objects thoughtfully arranged on a window sill, painted in oil onto board and dated 1968.

The artist has used short, distinct brushstrokes that bring a painterly texture to the scene and imbues the work with an expressive quality.

The restrained colour palette, consisting of muted reds, browns, and whites, sets a subdued tone, giving the composition a moody feel.

Depth is achieved through the skilful overlaying of colours, while the use of contrasting light and dark shades accentuate the three-dimensional quality of the objects. The window in the background is minimally suggested, allowing the focus to remain on the quiet arrangement of the objects and the interplay of light and dark tones.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffing and some slight surface paint loss at its bottom left corner. less
