Mostly Mandarins

$3,875.00

An originally shaped large earthenware bowl, its irregular rim and textured glaze catching light, sits brimming with glossy mandarin oranges, the majority spilling gently toward the bowl’s edge; tucked among them are a few bright limes, a couple of sun‑yellow lemons, and a single yellow grapefruit that punctuates the mix. The bowl rests on the greenish surface of an antique wood‑burning stove whose worn enamel and ironwork frame the composition with quiet history. Behind the stove a leaded glass window fragments incoming daylight into soft, jewel‑toned reflections that play across the fruit and the bowl’s surface. In the distance, also perched on the stove, a simple teapot stands like a companion object, while beyond that the hint of another room—perhaps a back kitchen or pantry—shows in the softened shapes and warmer light filtering through a second window, suggesting domestic life extending past the focal still life.

Unframed original 24”x36” oil/canvas.
