1398 - A. Moreau (Active in the late 19th century/around 1900)

A. Moreau (Active in the late 19th century/around 1900) Opulent Still Life with Curiosity Cabinet Objects Against a dark wall with a stone niche, a variety of fresh fruits—such as melons, lemons, figs, grapes, apples, peaches, and plums have been arranged in a dynamic composition on silver and porcelain plates adorned with grapevines, alongside drinking glasses, wine and spirits bottles, and various ornate vessels such as an aquilegia goblet, all enlivened by insects and snails. Created in the tradition of the so-called “Banketjes,” the work depicts, with impressive materiality and attention to detail, an opulently set table with food and tableware. Oil on canvas; signed lower right; 92 cm x 65 cm. Oil on canvas. Signed.
