Signed Still Life Painting with Sunflowers by Kerrigan

This is a large-scale oil on canvas still life painting measuring 40x30 inches, identified as a work by the artist Kerrigan. The composition features a vibrant bouquet of bright yellow sunflowers with dark, textured centers, arranged in a cobalt blue ceramic vase. Accompanying the floral arrangement on a tabletop are a bunch of red grapes and two pieces of fruit, likely apples or peaches, rendered in warm tones of red, yellow, and green. The background is a neutral, mottled gray-brown tone that allows the saturated colors of the subject matter to stand out. The brushwork appears painterly and expressive, with thick impasto in the petals of the sunflowers, suggesting a post-impressionist influence. The painting is housed in an ornate, heavy gold-gilt frame with rococo-style scrollwork and floral relief patterns. The frame exhibits some minor surface wear and dust consistent with age, while the canvas appears well-preserved with no visible tears or significant crazing. Overall, the piece demonstrates high-quality craftsmanship in both the medium and the presentation, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century.
