The artist uses a bold, spontaneous hand, with graphic outlines and broad areas of ochre, olive green, cream and deep blue-black. Signed at the lower right, the work is presented in a simple painted wooden frame with a pale green inner border that complements the provençal palette well. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe subject immediately evokes Provence and the Mediterranean coast. The wicker basket, rustic pitcher and sun-warmed palette give the painting an easy, convivial character, while the flashes of coral red keep the composition fresh and animated. It would bring warmth and a relaxed Mediterranean note to a kitchen or dining room, with the sea urchin subject making it particularly fitting for a seaside retreat. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 21¾\" high x 27¼\" wide x 1½\" thick \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 55cm high x 69cm wide x 4cm thick\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54802225430866,"sku":"25924","price":2295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC08042_f67eda58-b124-4cc9-9d63-eca31790f801.jpg?v=1790083157","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/still-life-w-sea-urchins-213-4-x-271-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
