Still Life with Yellow Vase by Jack Beder is a 10.5 x 13.75 inch oil on panel painted in 1945 and signed by the artist in the bottom left corner. This painting captures a moment of his home life using texture and bold brushwork. The still life features a dark glass bottle and a bright yellow vase set against a soft light coming through a curtained window.

The interplay of shadows and form shows Beder’s command of color and structure.
