About the Item
This refined still life painting, signed Morel, belongs to the 20th-century French School and depicts a basket brimming with cherries, alongside black and green plums, arranged with quiet elegance. Set against a muted, softly blended background, the composition draws attention to the natural vibrancy and texture of the fruit, rendered with clear tonal modeling and a delicate, painterly touch.
While firmly rooted in the academic and naturalist tradition of 19th-century still life painting, the work reflects a 20th-century sensitivity to composition and atmosphere. The influence of earlier French masters is evident, yet the approach is slightly more modern in its restrained color palette and simplified setting, allowing the fruit’s form and color to take center stage.
The painting is housed in an ornate gilded frame, echoing classical revival aesthetics, which was still favored in decorative art circles during the early to mid-20th century. This juxtaposition of traditional subject matter with subtle modern execution gives the piece both timeless appeal and stylistic clarity.
A fine example of 20th-century French still life, the work by Morel honors the genre’s long heritage while offering a fresh, quietly elegant interpretation.
Presented in a richly carved giltwood frame, in the style of earlier classical revival designs.
