About the Item
This elegant French still life oil painting, signed “Gaston P. 96”, dates from the late 19th century — most likely 1896, given the inscription. Executed on canvas and housed in its original richly carved and gilded wooden frame, this work offers a traditional yet captivating composition featuring a game bird (a mallard duck) laid beside a rustic earthenware pot and fresh vegetables, possibly onions and celery. The color palette is warm and naturalistic, with rich earthy tones and subtle shading, typical of the academic realism of the late 1800s in France.
The artist demonstrates a skillful use of light and texture, particularly in the rendering of feathers and reflections on the glazed ceramic. The scene evokes the spirit of rural life and classic French cuisine, making it a perfect piece for a country kitchen, a hunting lodge, or a refined collector’s interior.
Please note that the canvas shows signs of age and conservation: some earlier surface repairs are visible, notably two reinforced areas that were stabilized in the past. These do not detract from the overall charm and character of the piece but are mentioned for full transparency.
A beautiful and timeless example of antique French still life painting.
