Oil painting on canvas, still life, Italy 18th century

We are pleased to present this 18th-century Italian oil on canvas painting. It is a charming still life with flowers and fruit. The painting depicts a rich composition: bunches of white and black grapes are visible, pears in the left and right foreground, and a central basket filled with red fruits and apples. Roses and other colourful flowers stand out on the left, balancing the composition.
