A large still life composition, painted in the tradition of the ‘vanitas’ genre: it includes objects both sumptuous and vivacious as well as objects that provoke a more serious, contemplative frame of mind. The juxtaposition brings the viewer’s thoughts to the preciousness and also the brevity of this life.

Oil on Belgian linen canvas, 45 x 60 cm., 2017. The painting comes with a substantial floral-relief frame in a pewter finish.
