Ashley Griffith Original Painting: 'Bra and Corset'

This item is an original oil painting by artist Ashley Griffith, titled or depicting a 'Bra and Corset.' The artwork measures 36x24 inches, as indicated by the provided context, and is framed in a black, contemporary-style frame with a subtle silver lining visible on its inner edge. The painting itself depicts a black bra and a matching black corset against a vibrant background that transitions from a soft pink on the lower section to a lighter, somewhat purplish-pink at the top. The lingerie items are rendered with a high degree of realism, showcasing glossy, leather-like textures with significant highlights and shadows, giving them a three-dimensional quality against the flat background. The bra's cups show subtle red-orange reflections, possibly suggesting nearby light sources or internal lining. Both garments appear to be suspended, casting soft, blue-toned shadows that enhance the illusion of depth. The bra features visible straps with small, circular embellishments that could be buttons or grommets near the top. The corset, positioned beneath the bra, displays lacing at the front, creating a cinched effect, and also features similar small circular embellishments near the top edge. The paint application appears smooth and detailed, demonstrating a skilled hand in capturing nuances of light and texture. There are no visible condition issues such as cracks, chips, or paint loss discernible from the image. The style suggests contemporary realism with a focus on still life, particularly fashion or intimate apparel, presented in a bold and evocative manner. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, with meticulous attention to detail in rendering the fabric's sheen and the interplay of light and shadow.
