A fine quality oil on canvas still life of onions and crockery. The oil is exceptionally finely done in a very classic fashion with items on a stone shelf. The painting is not signed and is likely a student examination piece. There are some condition issues with areas of craquelure and a repair in the shadow cast by the bowl. The work really is an exceptional still life, worked in purely earth tones, focusing on light and texture, creating a piece with a wonderful realism. The painting is frame in a gilt frame with an interesting craquelure effect, which is likely not the original but has been with it for a long time. The canvas by Rowney dates the work to c.1890. The whole is a very interesting and fine still life with a huge amount of decorative presence.Overall sizes in inches including frame: 21 by 17At Prometheus Antiques we want our customers to be completely happy with our items everything is sold with a guarantee and all items are fully and clearly described.
