still Life (detail) 

This detail from a still life by Niko Pirosmani, a prominent Georgian artist, is a testament to his unique style. It depicts a close-up of a white object, possibly a tablecloth or a piece of fabric, against a black background. The image is characterized by a thick application of paint, visible brushstrokes, and a limited palette of black, white, and hints of yellow, creating a sense of depth and texture. While the exact date of the piece is unknown, it exemplifies Pirosmani's signature naive style, characterized by simplified forms, bold colors, and a focus on everyday subjects, often inspired by his native Georgia.
