Still life of fruit. Spanish School. 19th century

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 80 x 35 cm, framed 144 x 90 cm. This painting presents a classic still life composition grouping seasonal fruits—such as watermelon, melon, lemons, and tomatoes—along with a wooden box, a lobster, flowers, and glass and earthenware bottles. The arrangement on a table with a dark background and draped with fabric highlights the brightness and volume of the objects, playing with light on the reflections of the glass and the damp surface of the fruit. The brushwork is restrained and meticulous, especially in the details of the crustacean and the metallic reflections of the vase. The treatment of light evokes the late Baroque taste for chiaroscuro contrasts, although with a more decorative than narrative approach. A representative work of the genre still life of the 19th-century Spanish School, notable for its ornamental intent and technical quality. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
