**Biedermeier Fruit Still Life – Peaches, Pears, Cherries, Strawberries, Grapes and other Fruits on Green Leaves**
**by Leopold von Stoll (1803–1884/1889)**
**Title:**
Biedermeier Fruit Still Life – Peaches, Pears, Cherries, Strawberries, Grapes and other Fruits on Green Leaves
**Artist / Attribution:**
Leopold von Stoll (1803–1884/1889), signed lower right “Stoll”.
The signature is consistent with documented shortened forms used by the artist on smaller and mid-period works. The composition, warm earthy palette, soft yet precise modelling of fruit surfaces, dark dramatic background and overall Biedermeier elegance (abundance with refined restraint) are entirely characteristic of Leopold von Stoll, a Vienna-based still-life specialist active in the 1830s–1870s.
Provenance:
Formerly in a European private collection; acquired on the Vienna antiques market (Austria). The object has been in Europe for several decades.
**Medium:** Oil on canvas.
**Period / School:** Biedermeier, Vienna, mid-19th century (circa 1840–1870).
**Dimensions:** Canvas approximately 40 × 50 cm (exact measurements recommended), housed in a very fine quality 19th-century giltwood rococo-revival / baroque-style frame with elaborate leaf, shell and scroll ornamentation (frame likely original or contemporary, significantly enhances decorative and monetary value).
**Market Value Estimate (as of January 10, 2026):**
€4,000€ – €6,000€(retail / gallery price on the European secondary market).
**Rationale for valuation:**
Leopold von Stoll is a well-collected Biedermeier still-life painter with consistent demand in Austria, Germany and Central Europe. Signed fruit compositions of this size and quality regularly achieve €2,000–5,000 at Dorotheum, Koller and Neumeister auctions (mid-range signed fruit still lifes), with higher end (€5,000–8,000+) for larger or more elaborate pieces.
**Comparable sales example:**
- Dorotheum, 05.04.2023: Leopold von Stoll, Reiches Blumen- und Früchtestillleben (rich flowers and fruit still life), realized price €10,400

Overall: stable painting, ideal candidate for professional conservation cleaning and re-varnishing (strongly recommended to reveal original vibrancy and substantially increase value). less
