Original oil painting of an old brass oil can. Rendered in a realistic, classical style. The artist uses a limited, earthy palette against a background of deep bluish-grey, which contrasts with the metallic colours of the can. The mood is quiet and contemplative, typical of still life works that invite the viewer to notice beauty in everyday objects. The dark background and dramatic lighting suggest a chiaroscuro influence, giving the object a strong three-dimensional presence.
