Still Life is a 1913 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a table with a few objects: a striped bowl, a lamp with a round shade, a book with a red cover, and a box. The colors are mostly earthy—browns, greens, and a bit of blue—with some sharp white and black contrasts. The shapes are simple but don’t quite match real life; everything looks a little off-kilter. The artist used thick brushstrokes, making the paint stand out in chunks rather than smooth layers. This gives the scene a rough, almost textured look. If you like this style, look up impasto.
