The artwork, “Still Life at a Window,” was created by Vanessa Bell in 1922. This painting belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and is a still life genre piece.
The artwork depicts a domestic scene viewed from inside a room looking out through a window. The focal point is a large, ornately decorated urn situated on a shelf or table near the window. Beside the urn, there is a flower vase filled with flowers, further enhancing the composition’s aesthetic appeal. The backdrop includes a window with a floral curtain partially drawn, revealing an urban landscape with rooftops and chimneys under a bright sky. The painting demonstrates Bell’s skill in capturing the interplay of natural light and shadow, and her use of vivid colors and bold brushstrokes.
