Description:This mid-century oil still life by E.B. Holmes presents a traditional arrangement with a rustic jug, ceramic jar, and green apple, rendered with balanced tones and naturalistic detail. The background is softly impressionistic, allowing the central objects to emerge with solidity and contrast.
Though the artist is not listed in major art directories, the work reflects a competent painterly style typical of 20th-century British amateur and regional art. With its subdued palette and rustic subject matter, the painting carries both decorative appeal and quiet academic charm. A fine choice for collectors of still life art or as a statement piece for interiors styled around classic or dark academia aesthetics.
