Antoni Krzemiński - Stimmungsvolles Chiaroscuro-Stillleben mit Öllampe

For sale is a moody, hand-painted oil painting by the Polish artist Antoni Krzemiński from 1981. The work is in the classic chiaroscuro style (light-dark painting) and evokes the cozy study-room scenes of the 19th century.

Details of the motif:

The painting shows a masterfully lit still life on a round wooden table. A burning antique table lamp with a distinctive blue-green shade casts a warm, golden light on the scene. In the lamp’s glow one can discern a stack of old books with a red bookmark, an open notebook, a fine glass dish with fruits (mandarins), and a glass carafe in the dark background.
