An original contemporary still life painting featuring a shell arranged atop a stack of books. Executed in a sophisticated palette of mauve, plum, blush, and muted green tones, the composition balances coastal subject matter with a refined, collected aesthetic. Measuring approximately 20" H × 16" W framed, the piece offers substantial presence while remaining versatile enough for a library, study, bedroom, or curated gallery wall. Expressive brushwork and layered texture give the work depth and character, while the thoughtful color palette complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. Signed by the artist and presented in an ornate gilt frame, ready to display.
