Clearly aged and worn

and a bit of a mysterious one

and equally excellent all the way around

Pile of Fruit and Pitcher, c. 1930s-40s Folk Art Oil on Board Still Life t-square later 19th cA humble still life painting, and I would not claim a great one, but I love it in its honestness and unfussiness, and how the grape topped pile of fruit at center looks like a small mountain, or even an ice cream sundae! Nice mustard yellow for the foreground table, too, lending warmth and also enough punch to make the painting hold up very nicely among a group of still lives. Nice for a cozy spot, too. 13 1 2" x 10 1 2" framed, as found. Painting 11
