Still Life, Oil on Board Painting by John Armstrong, 1960 Additional information: Medium: Oil on board 11 1/4 x 15 1/8 in 28.5 x 38.5 cm Signed and dated This painting shows Armstrong's earlier career as a theatre designer, with its subjects arranged on a window sill as if actors in a play; the leaf and muntin, painted in a similar tone of green, act as a mid-ground to the autumnal trees outside the Artist's London home.
