A quietly observed still life featuring a floral jug, a book and folded textile, painted in soft muted tones. The composition has a gentle, slightly wonky charm that feels reminiscent of mid-century domestic painting, where atmosphere and affection for everyday objects matter more than perfect perspective.

Signed by the artist, although the signature remains unidentified. The work appears to be an original watercolour or mixed-media painting on textured paper and is presented in its original frame.

I was drawn to this piece because of its honesty. The jug leans ever so slightly, the colours are softened with age, and the whole composition feels lived with rather than staged. It has the same quiet appeal found in many favourite still lifes, celebrating ordinary objects and the beauty of everyday domestic life.

The frame and mount show age-related wear, including visible staining to the mount, which only adds to its timeworn character. Please study photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

A lovely decorative piece for a kitchen, reading corner, cottage interior or collector of original artwork.

Condition Original artwork with age-related wear. Mount shows water staining and foxing. Frame has marks consistent with age and use.

A note from Pomme de Jour I have left the mount untouched. Its worn appearance felt entirely in keeping with the painting itself, a small work that seems to have spent many years quietly hanging in someone's home.
