About the Item
George Weissbort (British, 1928–2013)
Still Life of an Interior with Trunk and Drapery
Oil on board, signed lower left
Circa 1970
Presented in the original English oak frame
This richly textured still life by George Weissbort reveals the quiet poetry of domestic space, rendered with an impressionist’s sensitivity to light and surface. A heavy trunk or carved bench serves as a stage for a carefully balanced arrangement: a blue-patterned textile tumbles forward, its folds catching the light in soft undulations, while a ceramic vessel, onions or bulbs, and a rounded loaf or pot occupy the tabletop with unspoken symbolism. The background recedes into shadow, revealing a densely packed bookshelf and subtle hints of room beyond—immersing the viewer in a world at once intimate and timeless.
Weissbort, though influenced by the modern British school, remained deeply committed to classical methods and observational rigour. His work often evokes the quiet reverence of the Old Masters, yet here he blends that tradition with a looser, more expressive brushwork characteristic of late Impressionist interiors. The contrast between the worn oak of the furniture, the sheen of fabric, and the hazy depths of the library shelves creates a layered narrative—inviting contemplation of memory, study, and stillness.
Executed in oils on board and housed in its original English oak frame, this work stands as a testament to Weissbort’s meditative approach to painting and his refined eye for tone, balance, and form. Ideal for collectors of 20th-century British realism or for those drawn to the quiet dignity of everyday objects in situ.
The painting came from the estate of the artist.

George Weissbort
George Weissbort was a Belgian–born British artist. He lived and painted in Wye Valley, England. The critic Brian Sewell, considering him an important exponent of an earlier style at a time not widely receptive to it, described him as having "painted the right pictures at the wrong time"
