The collection of Bernard Kelly (1930-2022); Thence by descent. Rousseau exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1834, and his success at the Salon of 1845 “signified his breakthrough as a painter of still lifes and animals”.1 From 1843 onwards, “Philippe Rousseau never stopped painting still lifes”.2 His work “drew inspiration from seventeenth-century Netherlandish art, or from eighteenth-century French antecedents”, particularly the paintings of Jean-Baptiste Oudry and Jean-Siméon Chardin.3 During his career, Rousseau received medals at the Salon in 1845, 1848, and 1855, and was appointed a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1852, becoming an Officer in 1870.
