Antique Kitcheb Still Life Oil Painting – Garlic and Tomato on a Plate, 19th Century in Gold Frame
A charming circa 1920s French still life featuring garlic and a vibrant red tomato arranged on a simple plate. A warm and characterful post-Impressionist oil painting presented in its period gold frame. A small plate rests on a wooden tabletop, holding two bulbs of garlic and a richly painted red tomato. The restrained composition and earthy palette give the work a quiet elegance.
The brushwork is confident and painterly, with visible texture in the garlic skins and a gentle luminosity in the tomato’s red surface. The background remains dark and atmospheric, allowing the objects to emerge softly from shadow. The result is both humble and sophisticated. These works reflect the enduring influence of Cézanne and the Post-Impressionists, where form, color, and light were explored through ordinary objects. This painting sits comfortably within that tradition.
Good vintage condition with age-related craquelure consistent with the period. Paint surface is stable. Frame shows minor wear and patina appropriate to age.
Executed in oil on canvas and housed in a substantial gilt frame with classical mouldings, the piece has strong decorative presence despite its modest scale.
