Bidspirit auction | Robert Cox, Still Life White

Robert Cox, Still Life White Roses Oil on Canvas - This oil painting on canvas is the work of Robert Cox (American, 1934-2001), a prolific painter known for his floral still life compositions. The painting is signed in the lower right B. Robert Cox in brown script. The canvas is stretched over a standard wooden frame and secured with staples. It is housed in an ornate, large-scale gilded composition-over-wood frame with deep fluted moldings and decorative shell and foliate motifs at the corners. Overall frame: 35 inches x 47 inches The painting surface exhibits a fine network of craquelure, particularly visible in the darker background areas, which is consistent with age. Minor surface dirt is present. The frame is in poor condition with damage, including losses to the molded composition at the corners and edges. There is cracking to the gilded surface, multiple chips revealing the white composition and wood substrate beneath, and a visible structural separation at one corner as shown in the detail images.
