”Nature morte Jaune”, 1973, oil on canvas, 100 x 81 cm

The painting is depicting a vibrant still life, ”Nature morte Jaune” (1973) by Claude Malherbe (1915–1987). Executed in oil on canvas (100 x 81 cm), the artwork radiates warmth with its dominant yellow hues and expressive, textured brushstrokes. The composition includes a decorative plate, a glass, an open book, a candlestick, and an oil lamp, arranged on a table. These everyday objects are imbued with a sense of life and energy through the bold colors and dynamic paint application. Malherbe’s use of thick impasto highlights his impressionistic and expressive style, capturing both the simplicity and richness of the scene.
