About the Item

Bruno Hohlfeld (1862–1917) "Still Life with Flowers, gloves and walking stick” This elegant oil painting on canvas by Bruno Hohlfeld, a distinguished German artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, presents a poetic still life composition that blends natural beauty with personal narrative. A vase filled with delicate pink and white flowers sits on a wooden tabletop near a softly lit window, capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature. The subtly arranged gloves, draped fabrics, and a stringed instrument resting on a chair suggest a moment frozen in time, evoking themes of nostalgia, refinement, and artistic introspection. Plot & Symbolism The flowers symbolize the fleeting nature of beauty and life, a recurring theme in still-life painting. The open gloves and draped fabrics hint at human presence, suggesting a recently departed figure or an intimate domestic setting. The stringed instrument represents music, creativity, and artistic expression, reinforcing the painting’s contemplative tone. The mirror in the background subtly plays with light and reflection, adding depth and an almost dreamlike quality to the scene.

Blends realism with a poetic sensibility, making it a quintessential piece of late 19th-century European still-life painting.
