Early 20th century French still life of copper kettle and apples

£280.00

A luminous early 20th-century French still life: a well-worn copper kettle gleams with warm highlights against a sunlit yellow checkered cloth, its rounded form echoing the clustered apples beside it. Crisp lemons, arranged in a cabbage-leaf dish, introduce a cool, acidic counterpoint—textured rinds and the leafy ceramic adding a subtle organic frame. Composed with balanced restraint, the scene celebrates everyday objects through rich color contrasts and quiet harmony, inviting a contemplative pause on domestic beauty and the passage of time.
