After Juan Gris (Spanish, 1887–1927) – The Bordeaux Bottle, Cubist-Style Still Life, Oil on Canvas Laid on Board

This vintage oil on canvas laid on board is painted in the style of Juan Gris and depicts The Bordeaux Bottle as a striking cubist inspired still life. Angular planes in deep green, mustard, brick red, purple and turquoise intersect across the surface, building the form of a wine bottle through layered colour and fractured perspective. The palette is vibrant and confident, echoing the spirited modernism of early twentieth century art.

Measuring around 48 cm by 38 cm, the work is presented in a textured gilt frame that enhances its richness. The frame shows gentle age related wear that sits comfortably with the boldness of the composition. The crisp outlines, overlapping colour blocks and emphasis on structure pay clear homage to Gris’s approach, where familiar objects are reshaped through abstraction and rhythm.

This is a piece that brings personality to a room. It looks dramatic above a drinks trolley with vintage glassware, where its subject matter feels especially at home. In a dining space, it creates an engaging focal point that celebrates food, wine and conviviality. It also sits beautifully within a gallery arrangement of mid century works or alongside sculptural ceramics and coloured glass, where its geometry plays against softer forms.

The size makes it easy to place, substantial enough to anchor a wall but compact enough to display on a sideboard or shelf. The vibrant colours work well against natural wood, painted furniture or neutral linen, adding depth without overwhelming a space.

In good vintage condition with light wear to the frame consistent with age.
