France, 19th Century

Antique Artwork One-Of-A-Kind

It takes a rare eye to find a whole painting in a jug of wine and a basket of fruit, and this painter had it. The oil dates to the 19th century and came out of Le Perche, the table it shows laid with a green jug, a straw-wrapped bottle, and a basket of lemons on green cloth. There is a whole tradition behind it, the kitchen still life, where painters turned from gods and battles to the things actually on the table and made the everyday worth looking at. Sylvie hangs it above a sideboard with a bowl of real lemons beneath it, the painted table and the real one echoing each other.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
