About the Item

An interesting 1863 still life painted by George E. Forster (German/American, 1817-1896). George Forster was born in Bavaria, Germany and came to New York in 1865 with his wife and children. The artist occasionally exhibited under the name "Foster," a common misspelling of his surname.

This still life is featuring a cracked egg, snail, fruit, goblet, bird's nest, and fly. Oil on panel, signed and dated lower left, with original frame. Dimensions: 8 in h x 10 in w, actual; 15 in h x 17.25 in w, framed.
