This enchanting still life by Austrian artist, Ella Wetzko-Ehrenberger (1874-1945), depicts an arrangement of chrysanthemums, oyster shell, statuette and pearl necklace.

It’s a refined snapshot into the life of a sophisticated woman.

There’s a delicacy to the brushwork, every element rendered with a fine touch and careful handling. Note how the necklace falls from the shell as the light catches the pearls. Wetzko-Ehrenberger admired this decorative ensemble and has captured its elegant beauty with a masterly touch.

Signed on the left and housed in a gilt frame.
