Mid-20th Century C. Parish Oil on Canvas Still Life Painting - A mid-20th-century oil on canvas still life painting by C. Parish. The composition depicts a varied arrangement of ceramic and glass vessels, including a large two-handled pale green jug, an ornate vase with floral patterns, a slender red vessel, and a large bulbous brown ewer, all set upon a draped green cloth against a textured yellow background. A notable mise en abyme detail is visible in the reflection on the brown ewer, which shows a studio interior featuring an artist at an easel beside a window. The arrangement further includes a small figurine of a woman in a wide dress and a yellow ashtray in the foreground. The painting is signed C. PARISH in green paint to the lower right corner. The work is held in a gilt-moulded wooden frame with a decorative beaded inner border.
