Ruffell’s unique, abstracted style blends elements of cubism with pop art, offering a modern twist on traditional still life. For art collectors, this piece is an opportunity to own a work from a notable English painter whose career spans decades and reflects the shifting art movements of the late 20th century.

This work is not only a visual delight but also a conversation piece, evoking an era when music and fine port went hand in hand with sophisticated, leisurely evenings. The piece has a small simple wood frame which is original to the piece.
