Study in Red and Gold

A quiet study in colour, form and season, this French still life captures the richness of late harvest. A cluster of inky grapes anchors the composition, while blushed apples, golden pears and tender foliage offer a counterbalance in soft, warm tones. Painted on canvas and signed in the lower right corner, the piece is a masterclass in restraint, letting texture and tone do the storytelling.

The title, Étude en Rouge et Or (Study in Red and Gold), pays homage to the palette as well as the painter’s methodical, almost meditative arrangement. Framed in a classic fluted giltwood frame with warm patina, the artwork evokes the traditions of a 1900s studio painting while remaining intimate in scale and tone.

Collected in France. One of a kind.
