This work contains a still life within a decorative framework. The mysterious still life consists of a glazed jug with two poppy pods, an ear of corn and a pomegranate in an autumnal palette against a clear blue ground. The surrounding design is rendered in green and gray overlaid with a shagreen-like pattern in metallic bronze pigment. The style is close to the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who exhibited at the 8th Secession exhibit, which occurred in Vienna in 1900. price: $3,400 |
