Description from the seller
Still Life of Fruits
School: European School (19th century)
Style: nineteenth-century still life rooted in naturalism
Technique: oil on canvas
The work presents a still life of fruit arranged with balance and sobriety on a surface covered by a dark green cloth. The composition includes clusters of light and dark grapes, apples, oranges and other fruits placed in the foreground, accompanied by leaves and vegetal elements that add dynamism and depth to the scene. The dark background, treated with a pronounced chiaroscuro, enhances the volume and fleshiness of the fruits, underscoring their texture and ripeness. The brushwork is restrained and precise, with careful attention to the reflections of light on the surfaces, following the tradition of European still life painting of the nineteenth century, where descriptive realism and an intimate atmosphere are combined.
The work features a gilded wooden frame with straight lines and simple moulding, in keeping with the classical aesthetic of the whole. The gilding displays a uniform patina typical of the passage of time, in harmony with the painting’s antiquity, adding presence without detracting from the composition’s prominence.

The frame comes as a gift. It may be damaged during transport even if it is properly packaged.
