The oil on canvas displays a late realism: a pewter dish laden with fruit—a pear, two apples, and a bottle in the shadows—composes an intimate scene with carefully rendered chiaroscuro and a warm palette. The canvas is sound and exhibits a network of age-related craquelure and slight marks consistent with its age, while a uniform varnish adds a beautiful depth. It is presented in a period frame of wood and gilt stucco, decorated with friezes, in good condition. This distinctive decorative piece would be perfectly suited to a kitchen, dining room, or elegant bistro. This piece has an attribution mark,
