Still Life, a Vase, a Bottle and a Jug with Flowers is a 1923 oil by John Quinton Pringle, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
The painting features a still life arrangement of a vase, a bottle, and a jug with flowers. The vase is tall and slender, while the bottle is shorter and more rounded. The jug has a handle on one side and a spout on the other. All three objects are adorned with flowers, which are depicted in various shades of purple, pink, and yellow. The background of the painting is a muted grayish-brown color. One interesting aspect of the painting is the way the artist has used light and shadow to create depth and dimensionality. The flowers and objects are illuminated from the top left, casting subtle shadows on the surrounding surface. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist John Quinton Pringle.
John Quinton Pringle (13 December 1864 – 25 April 1925) was a Scottish painter, influenced by Jules Bastien-Lepage and associated with the Glasgow Boys.
