Description
Cabbage, carrots and onion on a chopping board.
Commentary
Despite the verso legend B Fleming, this feels like an Alec Fleming still life. The capture of light, impasto, confidence of the mark making and thickness of the painterly application point to later A Fleming. This may be Barbara Fleming under the influence of Alec’s style.
