About the Item

Painted by Louisiana Artist, Helene Moyse. Gifted by artist to our founder, Dixon Smith. Came from Dixon's home. This is a charming still life painting executed in a loose, expressive style. The composition features five red pears—four resting on a round, white ceramic plate with a blue and red decorative border, and one placed just outside the plate to the upper left. A knife with a brown handle lies diagonally across the lower part of the plate, extending toward the bottom left corner. The color palette is soft and muted, with creamy off-whites, cool blues, and warm red tones dominating the scene. The artist used visible, broad brushstrokes and subtle color blending to give the fruit and dish volume and movement, creating a painterly, almost impressionistic quality. The painting is signed H. Moyse in the bottom right corner, suggesting the artist’s identity. It is framed in a simple wooden frame that complements the understated elegance of the piece. The overall tone is calm and intimate, evoking a timeless moment in everyday domestic life.
