Mid-Century Modernist Still Life with Mask and Vessels

This is a vertical oil painting on board, executed in a modernist or sub-cubist style characteristic of the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1960s). The composition features a variety of objects arranged in a shallow, flattened perspective against long teal drapery. The palette is dominated by cool tones including emerald green, lime green, and cerulean blue, contrasted by a pale peach theatrical mask and a small red tag or card bearing the capital letter 'M'. The central subjects include a tall, slender dark green bottle, a light green ceramic ewer or pitcher with a curved handle, and a bleached animal skull positioned on a lower shelf. At the bottom, a harlequin-style diamond pattern in grey, black, and green provides a geometric grounded base. The brushwork appears deliberate with visible texture and layering. Condition-wise, the work shows significant age-related wear, including noticeable paint loss and chipping along the upper left edge and corners of the board. There are scattered scuffs and a general darkening of the varnish or surface grime throughout. No clear signature is visible in the provided image, suggesting it may be by an unidentified studio artist or an unsigned work from a regional school of art. The quality indicates a competent hand familiar with modernist composition and the interplay of symbolic objects.
