Still Life with Gourds – Oil Painting on Panel – Signed – Mid-20th Century (approx.) Original still life painting depicting a composition of gourds and squash arranged on a wooden surface against a warm, vertically paneled background. The work is executed in oil with careful attention to texture, light, and natural color transitions, characteristic of traditional realist still-life painting. The palette is restrained and earthy, emphasizing greens, ochres, and warm browns, with a strong sense of volume and depth. The brushwork suggests a trained hand, particularly in the rendering of surface textures and subtle reflections. The composition is balanced and intimate, typical of mid-20th-century European decorative still lifes. The painting is signed in the lower right corner (signature visible, artist unidentified), and is presented in its original dark wooden frame, which complements the work stylistically and period-wise. Estimated period Based on style, materials, and framing, the work is likely from the mid-20th century (circa 1940s–1960s).
