Opulent Still Life with Golden Chalices

Description
An exquisite oil painting on canvas (34x40cm, framed), this richly detailed still life by artist K. Cotton showcases a luxurious arrangement of golden chalices, a fruit-filled pedestal dish, and delicate glassware, all resting atop a round table draped in deep blue cloth. The soft interplay of light and shadow brings out the luminous quality of the reflective surfaces, imbuing the scene with a sense of quiet opulence.

Encased in a striking gold and black frame, the composition exudes classical beauty and balance. While little biographical information is known about K. Cotton, the artist was active during the 20th century—most likely in the mid- to late 1900s—and is known for works in the traditional European still-life style. Cotton’s precise brushwork and refined composition reveal a strong connection to the traditions of classical still life painting.
