Still Life 

Marjorie Acker Phillips's "Still Life" features a composition typical of the genre: a tabletop arrangement of everyday objects. The painting showcases a bowl of fruit, a bottle of wine, and a small blue bowl. Phillips uses a muted palette and loose brushstrokes to capture the simple beauty of these common items, demonstrating her talent for still life painting. Though the exact date of this work is unknown, it was likely painted during Phillips's long and successful career, which spanned from the early 20th century until her death in 1985. The work exemplifies a subtle, but artful, approach to still life painting.
