The kind of painting that makes everyone smile. A bowl of strawberries at peak ripeness, a dozen more tumbling loose across the table, painted with the confidence and warmth of someone who loved the subject entirely.

This is an original oil on canvas, signed D. Winandy lower right, French or Belgian School, early to mid 20th century. The composition is simple and wholly satisfying: a white ceramic bowl with a painted rose motif, piled high with ripe strawberries, their vivid red against the warm cream ground catching the light with real conviction. The brushwork is assured and painterly, each strawberry built up with dabs of paint that give texture, form and life without fussiness. The result is intimate, joyful and beautifully observed.

Condition is very good. The painting presents well throughout with honest age consistent with the period.

Sourced in France.

Presented in an original simple giltwood frame that suits the warmth of the painting perfectly. Ready to hang.

A painting for a kitchen, a dining room, a child's room, a breakfast room or anywhere that could use a little more warmth and life. One of those rare pieces that works in almost any interior and appeals to almost anyone. Well suited to collectors, interior designers and gift buyers alike.
