Trompe l'oeil Painting of Bottle and Letter

c. 1880

About the Item

Trompe L'oeil painting of bottle and letter. This work is by an American School artist, unsigned. This artist possesses a mastery of the skills needed to complete such a distinct art movement like this one. The Trompe L'oeil movement is known for its ability to displace everyday items and make it come alive in the painting. This is done by this great artist through their shadowing and the cursive writing that occurs both on the bottle and the letter. The way this artist paints is very typical for its period and their skill much exceeds many within this movement that are unsigned or done by an artist in the American School. This painting is in excellent condition and comes with its wood frame.
