Elizabeth S. Christensen (American, 1915–2015) “Tangeloes and Copper Pot,” 1995

Oil on canvas

A beautifully executed still life by American artist Elizabeth S. Christensen featuring vibrant tangelos arranged alongside a hand-hammered copper pot. Painted in 1995, the composition demonstrates Christensen’s signature realism, with exceptional attention to reflected light, rich color, and surface texture. The dramatic dark background allows the fruit and copper vessel to stand out with remarkable depth and luminosity.

The painting is signed lower right and titled, dated, and identified on the reverse stretcher: “Tangeloes and Copper Pot – Oil 1995 – Elizabeth S. Christensen.” An archival reference label remains affixed to the reverse.

Provenance: Acquired from the collection of a prominent Bloomfield Hills, Michigan art collector.
