The Checked Mug 1986

"The Checked Mug" (1986) is a still life by Mary Fedden (1915-2012). The painting features a checkered mug filled with pink flowers, a dark bottle with a turquoise label, a pear, grapes, and two oranges on a white plate. The background depicts a striped wall, a white curtain, and what appears to be a view of a body of water. Fedden's work is known for its vibrant colors and playful compositions, which bring a touch of whimsy to the traditional still life genre.
