Italian Painter (18th Century) - The Fruit Seller.

Italian painter (18th century) - The Fruit Seller.

70.5 x 58.5 cm (without frame) - 88.5 x 75.5 cm (with frame).

Oil on canvas, in a carved wood frame.

The painting depicts a genre scene set in an interior, with a young fruit seller alongside a seated child. The composition is organized around an abundance of fruits arranged in the foreground — baskets of peaches, grapes, figs, sliced watermelon, and citrus fruits — whose chromatic richness recalls the still-life tradition of the Flemish and Lombard seventeenth century, here reinterpreted in the taste of eighteenth-century Italian painting. The female figure, animated in gesture and expression, and the child eating a piece of fruit introduce a popular narrative note characteristic of the genre painting of the period.
