“Flowers in Classical Urn”

By Edward Chalmers Leavitt

Located in Southampton, NY

Very fine example of the artistry of the master still life painter of his day, Edward Chalmers Leavitt. Signed lower left and dated 1875. Condition is very good. Provenance: Christie’s Auction, New York, December 2, 1992, lot 228. Overall in period replica gold leaf deep cove gallery frame 25.75 by 17.75 inches. Edward C. Leavitt (1842-1904) worked in Providence but is also associated with the Fall River School of still life painting through the influence of, and affinity of his style to, the work of Robert S. Dunning. Leavitt was a student of landscape painter James Morgan Lewin, a founder of Providence’s artistic “group of 1855.” Leavitt’s work is known for its realism, rich coloration, sharp focus and careful finish. His paintings of fruit and flowers incorporate ornate decorative pieces such as silver or bronze ewers, salvers, tankards, or plates on carved and polished tables. Leavitt was a prolific artist, exhibiting frequently at the National Academy of Design, the Boston Art Club, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His work inspired other still life painters in Providence, resulting in that city’s own still life tradition, including artists such as John Clinton Spencer, Bryant Chapin...

Copper and Fruit Still-Life Painting, Early 20th Century, Framed

Located in Genève, GE

A charming and finely executed still life painted in oil on board, signed A. Bally in the upper right corner and bearing an inscription in the upper left. The composition presents a carefully arranged group of everyday objects rendered with warmth and sensitivity: a large copper basin, a green glazed earthenware jug, a glass tumbler, a ceramic vessel, a small knife, and several ripe peaches distributed across a white tablecloth. The artist skillfully balances form, color, and light to create a harmonious and timeless domestic scene. The copper bowl serves as the focal point of the composition, its rich reddish-brown surface reflecting subtle highlights and demonstrating the painter’s particular attention to texture and materiality. The surrounding objects are depicted with equal care, each contributing to a quiet dialogue of shapes and volumes. The luminous peaches introduce vibrant accents of red and orange that enliven the otherwise restrained palette of earthy browns, soft creams, olive greens, and warm neutrals. Executed with confident brushwork and a keen understanding of tonal relationships, the painting recalls the enduring tradition of European still-life painting. The work celebrates ordinary household objects through careful observation and thoughtful composition, transforming familiar forms into an elegant study of color, light, and balance. The neutral background and uncluttered arrangement lend the composition a modern simplicity while preserving the classical qualities associated with traditional nature morte painting. The result is an inviting and highly decorative work that would complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. Still Life Painting, Oil on Board, Signed A.
