Description from the seller
Interesting oil painting on canvas depicting a still life with fish arranged on a large oval plate, accompanied by lemons and a red container.
The composition features a lively setting with modernist influences, using geometric shapes and layered colors in shades of red, blue, green, and ochre.
The work stands out for its expressive, richly textured style, with visible brushstrokes and a balanced composition, typical of 20th-century Italian figurative painting.
On the back is a label from Galleria d'Arte Ponte Rosso in Milan, with handwritten details relating to the artist, title, and technique.
Details shown on the label:
Technique: oil on canvas.
Title: Still Life with Fish.
Year: 1986 (to be verified from the handwriting on the label).
Dimensions stated: 70 × 60 cm.
Documented provenance: Galleria d'Arte Ponte Rosso, Milan.
The painting is presented in a beautiful, decorated silver-tone frame that further enhances the work.
Condition: good overall condition, with normal signs of age. Careful examination of the photographs is recommended, as they form an integral part of the description.
An interesting work for collectors of 20th-century Italian painting and lovers of still lifes.
