Vintage Painting Still Life Objects on Tabletop clothing Late 1800'sA quirky and joyful still life painting An unusual mix of items on a tabletop shell, bowl of cherries, candlestick, bottles and a glass All captured very well in saturated colour with a slightly abstract vibe Spirited brushstrokes and a textured surface finish due to the weave of the hessian Acrylic on hessian stretched over a timber frame and secured with staples Staples can be seen around the edges 40cm high x 60cm wide Signed bottom right and dated
