Still life with pheasant and grapes.
Oil on canvas signed lower left.
67 x 92 cm.
Various lacunae of paint on the margins and yellowed varnish.
Provenance:
remained in the artist's family by descent.
Here, the artist indulges in a classic exercise, in the vein of 17th and 18th century genre paintings. Bottles,
jug and vase form the background to a still life in which a pheasant and a dish containing bunches of grapes are
in the foreground. The framing is skilful, with the corner of the table protruding to the left, while the right-hand side
the right-hand side reveals a realistic tea towel, whose folds suggest that it has just been laid out on the table to create the motif to be painted.
