Original oil painting depicting a classical still life arrangement with a red ceramic vase, pears, and a lidded vessel, executed in a warm, painterly style. The composition, palette, and brushwork are consistent with early to mid-20th-century European academic or atelier-trained work, likely influenced by French or Continental still-life traditions. The painting is signed lower right "K Hepburn" (or possibly "R Hepburn"). At this time, we have not identified a documented artist with certainty, and the work is offered based on its aesthetic and period qualities rather than artist attribution.

Housed in a substantial gilt wood frame with age-appropriate wear and patina. The frame appears original to the piece and complements the painting well. Backing and hardware are consistent with an older framing job.

A strong decorative work "” rich color, good depth, and very nicely scaled for shelf, wall grouping, or cabinet display.
