19th century original oil still life painting depicting fruit arranged in a basket. Painted in oil on canvas and presented in a gold gilt wood frame. The canvas shows old retouches and craquelure throughout, consistent with age, along with minor surface scuffs. The painting may benefit from light cleaning and possible stretching, which is left to the discretion of the buyer. Under typical home lighting the composition appears darker than in professional photography, where stronger lighting was used. The gilt frame shows scuffs and areas of loss revealing the wood beneath, primarily along the sides, with some separation at the corners typical for a frame of this age. A warm, atmospheric still life with classic European character.
