Large Original Fabulous Festive Mid Century Still Life GOUCHE Painting by Noted Listed Artist Ellen Akiko Ochi.

A wonderful festive celebrational still life painting depiction of all the feminine accoutrements for the night out. A crumpled program, a ticket stub, hand fan and delicate gloves. All laid upon a beaded piano shawl on a courtyard terrace backdrop. Amongst a balustrade, wrought iron fence and the stone of in town buildings. Under a sky alive from a celebration. ( A Night at the Opera? The Mardi Gras? A Fourth of July Celebration? A New Year Celebration? A festive gala event from an earlier time?)
