Cubist-Style Musical Still Life Oil Painting

This is a vibrant cubist-style abstract still life painting, likely oil or acrylic on canvas. The composition features a deconstructed musical theme, including a central stringed instrument resembling a lute or cello resting upon a geometric blue table. The background incorporates architectural elements such as arched windows and segmented color planes in a bold palette of crimson, cobalt blue, ochre, and turquoise. The artist employs heavy impasto and distinct black outlines characteristic of mid-20th-century European modernism, specifically evoking the influence of the School of Paris. The piece is housed in an ornate, deep-profile gilded wood frame with decorative foliate corner scrolls and a stepped inner profile. A black velvet liner or mat separates the canvas from the gold fillet, adding significant visual depth. There appears to be a signature in the lower right quadrant, though it is difficult to decipher from the image provided. The condition appears sound with no visible cracking (craquelure) or paint loss, although the frame shows a minor aged patina consistent with a late 20th-century production. The craftsmanship suggests a professional studio origin, focusing on balanced geometry and rhythmic color distribution.
