Description

A very fine and delicately composed still life arrangement by the listed artist Sydney Graham Briault (1887-1955), depicting a jug with branches of yellow flowers in an interior. Painted in the last year of his life, this work demonstrates significant artistic ability, and Briault achieves a perfect balance between detail and impressionistic brushwork. Delicate and gentle, the overall composition is aided by subtle lighting and dynamic shadowing. Well-presented in a distressed gilt effect wooden frame, as shown. Signed and dated. On board.

Condition

In very good condition overall. There is some minor surface dirt and a small mark near the right edge. The frame has some minor scuffing, in keeping with the distressed surface look.

Size

26.8 x 23.3cm (10.6" x 9.2")
Framed Size: 37.5 x 34.8cm (14.8" x 13.7")
