Vintage Artwork One-Of-A-Kind

Somebody gathered a big earthenware jug, a coffee pot, and a few apples on a striped cloth and made an afternoon of painting them. Found in Le Perche and dating to the 20th century, it holds the whole group in warm ochres and coppers, signed and dated 1961 in the lower corner. By the 1960s the still life had loosened up, the careful old-master finish giving way to bolder brushwork and blockier color, which is exactly the feel of this one. Sylvie leans it in a kitchen or on a mantel, unframed, its warm colors doing the work a frame usually would.

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

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, this piece has been used for many years and may show light wear consistent with its age. The painting is unframed and signed “Puche 1961” in the lower right corner. There are small areas of missing paint at the upper center above the pot and near the signature in the lower right.
