Item Description
This early 20th-century oil painting on board depicts a striking modernist still life of a breakfast scene, with a large jug surrounded by a pastry, coffee cup, fruits, and a glass of water. Made of brown, red and black, its earthly palette contrast with light grey lines that highlight curved shapes, producing an alluring play of geometric forms. Shadows and reflections are used to create bold geometry in the jug’s body, echoing the transparency of the glass, the outline of the fruits, and the abstract shapes of the background.
This evocative breakfast scene is typical of modernism’s fascinating experiments with abstraction and figuration. In excellent condition, it is mounted in its original frame and signed A. Rainer in the lower right corner.
