Arpad RomekHungarian Artist Romek Árpád (1883–1960) Oil Painting on canvas, Still Life
About the Item
This exquisite vintage oil on canvas painting by listed artist Romek Arpad masterfully captures the timeless elegance of a literary still life. The scene is rich with detail: a stack of antique books with satin bookmarks, an open illustrated volume, reading glasses, a wax-sealed letter, and an ornate candlestick evoke the atmosphere of a 19th-century scholar's desk.
The warm, earthy tones and the dramatic use of chiaroscuro lend this piece a classical aesthetic reminiscent of Old Master still life traditions. This work is signed in the lower left and housed in an impressive gilded frame that adds depth and grandeur to the composition.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Artist: Signed "Romek Arpad" in the lower-left corner.
