Description from the seller
Exceptionally without reservation!
A refined still life with a classical taste, depicting an elegant arrangement of fruit laid out on a light cloth: clusters of light- and dark-colored grapes, apples, citrus fruits, and pears, skillfully balanced around a metal pitcher with a strong decorative character. The scene is rendered with great painterly sensitivity, through a soft, luminous palette that highlights the surfaces, reflections, and the naturalness of the volumes.
The work strikes with the harmony of the whole and the quality of execution, with careful study of light and shadow that give depth and realism to the composition. The neutral, delicately shaded background enhances the colors of the fruit and the whiteness of the tablecloth, creating a sober and elegant atmosphere, typical of the tradition of genre painting from the 19th to the 20th century.
Decorative painting with great visual appeal, ideal for classical settings or collections dedicated to still life. It comes with a gold frame, simple and elegant, that emphasizes its aesthetic value without overpowering the work.
Please note that, given the age of the painting, there may be small flaws, minor signs of aging, cracks or losses: elements consistent with the authenticity and history of the work.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight to highlight every detail.
Our shipments are fast, professional, and come with carefully protected packaging; as a result, the corresponding shipping costs apply.
In accordance with the current regulations on works of art, shipments outside Europe (Schengen area) entail significantly higher costs and may cause delays, customs difficulties, or other problems, which remain entirely at the buyer's expense and responsibility, unless private agreements.
