Still Life

Still Life, a 1932 painting by Georges Kars, is housed in the Gallery of Fine Arts in Ostrava. Measuring 0.55 meters in width and 0.44 meters in height, the artwork depicts a still life arrangement. The composition features a bowl of fruit (grapes and what appears to be an orange or similar citrus fruit) on a pedestal, positioned on a dark, round table. On the table, alongside the fruit bowl, is a cream-colored sugar bowl with a lid, resting on a metallic plate. A dark, slender vase or bottle stands behind the fruit bowl. The background is a muted brownish-orange tone. The painting style is characterized by visible brushstrokes, giving it a textured appearance. The colors are predominantly earth tones, with muted oranges, browns, and grays dominating the palette.
