Alois M Hennersdorf (German,1927-?) Oil on canvas painting, Still Life, COA

This captivating vintage oil painting on canvas beautifully captures a warm and intimate still life scene. A polished violin rests gracefully on a rich red cloth, illuminated by the soft glow of a single candle. The artist masterfully uses light and shadow to create a dramatic contrast, highlighting the violin’s lustrous wood and the flickering flame’s reflection.

Behind the instrument, a stack of old leather-bound books leans together, suggesting a quiet world of music, knowledge, and reflection. The deep black background enhances the sense of depth and intimacy, while the ornate candle holder and golden-edged cloth add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
