A still life by William James Glackens, 'Roses and Persimmons' features a bouquet of roses and bright orange persimmons arranged on a patterned cloth. The loose brushwork and muted colours are characteristic of Glackens's American Realist style.
William James Glackens, a central figure in the Ashcan School and American Realism, painted still lifes and genre scenes with an eye for everyday beauty. His work often displays an interest in colour and light, influenced by Impressionism, but grounded in a distinctly American sensibility. Glackens studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and later worked as an illustrator before dedicating himself to painting. He was part of the group known as 'The Eight', who challenged the conservative art establishment in the early 20th century. In 'Roses and Persimmons', Glackens arranges a small bouquet of roses in a glass vase alongside several bright orange persimmons. These rest on a patterned cloth, possibly a tea towel, set against a warm, brown background. The brushwork is loose and painterly, with visible strokes that give the composition a sense of immediacy. The colours are muted, yet the persimmons provide a striking contrast to the softer tones of the roses and the background. The composition is simple, focusing on the interplay of colour and form within the domestic setting.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
