About the Item

This superb British still life oil painting is attributed to circle of William Nicholson. Painted circa 1920 it is a really lush and vibrant composition of white tulips in a blue jug on a table beside fruit and an ornate glass. There is a wonderful fluidity to it as the tulips arch over the fruit forming a circle. The painting is rich with heavy impasto and is an absolute delight. An excellent example of a 1920's still life oil painting housed in a lovely Bourlet frame. Provenance: London estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 20 inches by 16 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a Bourlet frame, 28 inches by 24 inches and in good condition.

  • Thy Name is Woman

    Oil on canvas, signed and dated 2018. French handmade Delf wooden frame, dark bronze patina with gold leaf. Unframed size: 19.7 inches high x 24.02 inches wide. Framed size: 28 inches high x 32.3 inches wide x 1.25 inches deep. Sold framed. Stefaan was gifted this skull by a friend, whose carpenter father found many years ago in a false ceiling. The skull sat in his workshop and was eventually named “Gilda”. The composition is unusual in its stark simplicity that speaks to the inevitable death we all face. Fascinating without being morbid, the arrangement is simple yet bold. Note the extraordinary brushwork detailed in the shroud, as well as the intricacies of the skull. The slash of cobalt blue in the background provides an ethereal quality. The title is adapted from Shakespeare’s Hamlet and is the artist’s inside joke on the character “Guildenstern” vs “Gilda”. Part of the title can be seen in the lower right quadrant of the painting. Compared to “Vanitas”, painted in 2000, the artist’s evolution in form and execution is most evident in this 2018 work. This painting is available for viewing at The Elemental Garden...
