Still Life with Lustre Jug

Harry Keay

Art Funded
1992
Dimensions
64 x 76 cm
Vendor
Bourne Fine Art
This highly finished and elaborate still life shows the influence of the Dutch still-lifes this Scottish artist much admired.

In common with the painting of James Cowie, the dry realism of Keay's early work is markedly different from the free and painterly style of much Scottish art of the time.

Provenance

Miss Jean Herring.

Oil on canvas
