Antique Arts & Crafts Period Framed Oil Painting on Board is an exceptional example of the Still Life genre, with the artist's specific attention paid to the fruit itself as opposed to the background. The subject seems to come to life in this excellent work! Survives in its original frame.
The Arts and Crafts movement was an international trend in the decorative and fine arts that developed earliest and most fully in the British Isles and subsequently spread across the British Empire and to the rest of Europe and America.
Initiated in reaction against the perceived impoverishment of the decorative arts and the conditions in which they were produced, the movement flourished in Europe and North America between about 1880 and 1920. It is considered by most experts to be the root of the Modern Style.
Circa 1900-1910
