Table Setting Art Appraisal

Cafe Scene with Set Table

This item is an original oil painting by David Lloyd Glover, measuring approximately 48x38 inches (width by height), as indicated by the contextual information provided. The painting depicts an interior cafe or restaurant scene, characterized by a vibrant and expressive use of color, typical of a post-impressionistic or contemporary style. The central focus is a small, round table set for two, draped with a light purple/lavender tablecloth. On the table, there are two place settings with white plates, wine glasses, and a bottle of what appears to be wine, alongside a cluster of red grapes and a long, narrow breadstick or baguette. Two wooden chairs with blue seat cushions are positioned on either side of the table. The interior space is brightly lit by natural light streaming through large windows on the left and right, casting a warm glow on the salmon-orange colored walls and reflecting on the deep blue floor. The brushstrokes are visible and painterly, contributing to the overall energetic atmosphere of the piece. A dark, rectangular sign with illegible writing hangs on the back wall. The painting is framed in a substantial, multi-layered frame. The outermost layer is a wide, dark brown or bronzed wood-look frame with a mottled pattern, featuring a fine stippled texture along its inner edge. Inside this, there's a smooth, off-white or cream-colored linen or gesso liner. The condition appears very good from the image, with no obvious signs of significant damage, repairs, or wear. The colors are rich and well-preserved. The artwork exhibits skilled craftsmanship in its composition and color theory, suggesting the work of an experienced artist. The specific size and artist's origin (David Lloyd Glover, a Canadian artist known for his vibrant landscapes and cityscapes) suggest a professional-grade artwork.
