Still life with pewter finds on a chest – Marjolein van den Berg, c. 2011

A landscape still life with excavated pewter finds – a spoon, a beaker, an openwork miniature, a small two-handled bowl and a pendant – on a red wooden chest against a deep blue background. Painted in acrylic on canvas by Marjolein van den Berg, c. 2011, as part of her series of still lifes with pewter and archaeological finds. The artist trained at the Tekenacademie and the Grafische school in Amsterdam and is known for her trompe-l’oeil murals and panels. This work is in a light, rough-sawn wooden frame, signed 'Marjolein' on the front, and is in good condition with only minor signs of use on the frame. The painting suits both classic and modern interiors and will appeal to collectors of antique pewter, archaeology, and excavated finds. Dimensions (with frame): 64.5 cm wide X 39.7 cm high X 3 cm deep. Technique: acrylic on canvas, hand-painted. Artist: Marjolein van den Berg, the Netherlands, c. 2011.
