Interior with Blue Windows

This item is an original oil painting by Pierre Bergian, titled 'Interior with Blue Windows', measuring approximately 12x13 inches. The artwork depicts a spacious architectural interior characterized by a prominent use of blue and white tones, with strategic accents of gold and a deep reddish-brown. The composition features a classical or neoclassical architectural style, with fluted columns or pilasters topped with golden capitals that appear to be Corinthian or Composite order, supporting a detailed entablature and cornice. The walls are rendered in shades of white and light gray, with visible brushstrokes and lines suggesting marble or stone paneling with naturalistic veining and some texture. Large rectangular openings, likely windows, dominate the scene, filled with a vibrant, intense blue that could represent sky or a reflective surface, contrasting sharply with the pallid walls. Below these, there are relief panels or wainscoting details in the same white/gray palette. Centered in the composition is an arched doorway framed by an ornate white/gray surround, revealing a deep reddish-brown door within. The floor is depicted in warm brown tones, suggesting wood, with horizontal strokes indicating planks and depth. The overall aesthetic is one of clean lines and grand scale, yet rendered with an expressive, almost abstracted quality through visible brushwork and a somewhat muted, yet striking, color palette. The painting's condition appears excellent, with no visible damage or significant wear, showcasing clear detail and vibrant colors that are indicative of its original state. The artistic style is a blend of representational and abstract, focusing on form and color relationships within an architectural setting. Its small size, 12x13 inches, suggests an intimate viewing experience.
