An Impressionist style antique oil painting from 19th century France. This work exhibits an array of attractive objects on a marble tabletop. The viewer’s eye is drawn first to a handsomely rendered bowl of fruit in front of a silver pitcher of fresh cut florals placed next to an antique fine gilt and ebony barley twist mantel clock under a glass dome. Seen in the background is the artist’s satchel and in the foreground the handle of his cane or umbrella. This painting incorporates a wonderful use of color paired with beautiful brushwork and interesting reflections in the glass. Set in the original hand-carved frame which displays the original gold gilt finish as well as some french red peeking through and gesso around the interior. The artist has marked the work with a large signature found in the top right corner. The canvas has been mended a few times on the back and a small notch is visible on the front surface.
