This is an original framed pastel painting by renowned South African artist Gawie Grobler, dated 1994. The piece, titled Stilte Tyd (Quiet Time), is a masterfully executed still life composed on paper. It features a thoughtful arrangement of an ornate, gold-embossed holy book alongside a brass paraffin lamp and a small bowl, all resting on a detailed lace tablecloth against a warm, textured curtain backdrop. The delicate blending capabilities of the pastel medium are used to great effect, creating soft transitions and a serene, contemplative atmosphere that stays true to its name.

The artwork is presented in a sophisticated double-frame, with a gold inner fillet and a larger gilded composite frame, all of which are included and are in good condition. This piece is a captivating example of Grobler’s dedication to traditional techniques and South African cultural themes. The total framed dimensions are 73.5cm x 94cm.
