Description
Van Gogh’s Still Life with Bottles and a Cowrie Shell, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Nuenen in 1884, this quiet still life groups a few bottles with a pale cowrie shell on a table against a dark ground. Van Gogh painted many such arrangements of everyday things in his Dutch years, and here contrasts the dark glass with the bright, curved shell to study light, texture and form, modelling the group in warm browns and greys with a steady, careful attention.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the bottles and shell keep the character of the original.
Where a still life belongs
Its warm, quiet tones suit a kitchen, a study or a considered interior, and pair well with wood and warm light.
Choose a hand-painted oil or a fine-art print
Order it as a hand-painted oil for genuine brushwork and impasto relief, finished by an experienced painter and made to order, or as an archival fine-art print for a smooth, even finish at a lower price.
