Description
This is a fine large tempera painting on a hand made wooden panel by the highly acclaimed British artist Stuart Armfield, (1916-1999). Painted in egg tempera, a medium this artist was well known for, and wrote books on the subject.
This mid century stylised still life painting is of various unusually coloured flowers standing in a glass vase on a marble table against a mountain landscape with clouds above.
This unusual artwork is very much of its time and dates to circa 1950.
The painting is displayed in its original painted wood frame. All of the elements in this picture are in good condition.
This is a rare opportunity to own an interesting high quality painting by this highly thought of British artist.
