Still life with Koshma and Kumgan

Description

Author: Babad, Emilia. 1912-1990
Still life depicting a traditional copper kumgan and prayer beads on a round metal tray against the background of an ornamented tekemet and colourful fabric. The composition is structured through the interplay of vertical background stripes and the rhythmic ornamentation of the felt carpet. The colour palette is based on a combination of warm ochre-golden, pink, blue, and greyish-green tones. The painterly manner is free, with a generalised treatment of form.
