About The Artwork
expand_more
Butter Knife is an elegant still life that transforms an everyday moment into something quietly poetic. Painted in oil on board, the piece captures the cool gleam of foil, the creamy softness of butter, and the subtle reflection of light on the knife’s surface. The composition balances warmth and restraint, with a palette of soft neutrals, yellows, and silvers that evoke intimacy and calm.
This artwork invites viewers to slow down and appreciate the beauty hidden in routine, making it a thoughtful addition to kitchens, dining spaces, or collections that celebrate the quiet charm of domestic life.

Fair & Free Shipping
We provide fair shipping for all orders under $500. What’s that mean? When most online retailers provide “free” shipping, they’re actually marking up prices to cover the shipping charge. This often costs you more! We don’t do that. Instead, we charge you exactly what it costs to ship your purchase to you. For all orders over $500, we’re happy to provide free shipping.
Processing & Delivery
Please allow 7-10 business days for your order to be processed and prepared for shipping. Note that delivery times vary depending on where your artwork is shipped from.
