Mid Century Italian Still Life Oil on Canvas | Fruit, Jug & Drapery

An Italian still life oil on canvas with strong colour and weight.

Thick brushwork and warm tones give it real presence without needing to over-style.

Works best in a kitchen, dining space or above a console where it can anchor the room.

A mid 20th century Italian still life depicting fruit arranged across platters with a ceramic jug and draped cloth.

Painted in oil on canvas with visible texture and confident, painterly handling. The surface shows natural variation in tone and application, giving depth and movement rather than a flat decorative finish.

Likely produced in an Italian studio or atelier, reflecting traditional still life training focused on form, colour and composition.

Unframed front with a simple timber stretcher and backing to the reverse.
