Antique Vessels

Description

Author: Babad, Emilia. 1912-1990
A still life with traditional utensils. In the foreground are four vessels of different shapes and sizes, rendered in a warm brown and ochre palette. Among them, a tall kumgan with a long curved spout and a lid occupies the central place in the composition. Behind the objects, a baskur (decorative woven band) with a vivid geometric ornament in red-orange and green tones is stretched horizontally; its ends are adorned with fringe. The light neutral background and the free painterly manner emphasize the decorative quality of the objects and the national character of the composition.
