About the Item

Vibrant still life painting of Shell and Yacco motor oil containers, a reflective silver bucket, and a cork-stopped glass bottle by an unknown French artist, circa 1950. The stark contrast between the colored objects in the foreground, the dark gray tabletop, and the cream-colored background adds to the visual appeal of this piece. Notable also is the artist's focus on automobile supplies instead of the more traditional still life subjects of food, flowers, or books. Original artwork on paper displayed on a white mat with a gold border. Mat fits a standard-sized frame. Archival plastic sleeve and Certificate of Authenticity included. Artwork, 18"W x 12.5"H. Mat, 24"W x 18"H.
