Still life painting modern realism old

Beautiful work (oil on canvas) captivating from the first half of the 20th century, offering a modern and refined reinterpretation of the classic still life. It features a collection of timeless objects: a briar pipe, a subtly creased leaf, a large book with a deep burgundy cover, and a dark glass bottle – all arranged in a cleverly constructed geometric composition. It is fully in line with the movement of French Modern Realism of the post-war period (in the spirit of the works of Georges Rohner or René Chancrin). The handling of the material is remarkable, with a dense and textured painterly touch that gives a true physical presence to the objects. The work underwent professional cleaning about ten years ago: excellent condition. Width: 41cm Height: 33.5cm Depth: 2cm. Fast and careful shipping.
