Description

A vase of narcissus in glass on a pewter charger. Set against a background of greys and umbers.

Commentary

Liberal use of impasto. A less usual still life subject for Alec Fleming. The sticker and signature suggest that this painting was destined for submission to exhibition. Chalk circle may denote acceptance into exhibition. Undoubtedly painted from life, alla prima,with a command of composition, colour and tone. A mature painting.

Attribution
