About the Item

SUNLIT WINDOWSILL Size: 51.5 x 58 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A charming still life that captures a serene arrangement of potted plants basking in the glow of daylight streaming through a tall-paned window, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978. The composition presents an interior moment – a collection of leafy greens in various ceramic and clay pots, their silhouettes softened and fractured by the interplay of light and shadow. The foliage, rendered in loose yet deliberate strokes, reaches upward in arcs, suggesting gentle movement and vitality. The style blends modernist simplicity with a painterly impressionism, focusing on atmosphere rather than strict realism. The palette is dominated by cool blues and soft greens, balanced by muted orange, creams, and warm golden tones filtering through the window. Brushwork is confident and expressive, with layered, semi-transparent applications of paint that create a sense of depth and shifting light. The textured surface and visible strokes lend the work an immediacy, as though the scene was painted in one sitting to capture a fleeting afternoon mood. This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible.
