Still life with ripening fruits on a stone ledge
signed with initials and dated lower center: J.A.W. 1805
oil on panel
panel: 8 1/8 by 10 5/8 in.; 20.6 by 27 cm.
framed: 13 1/2 by 16 in.; 32.3 by 40.6 cm.
The panel is flat and stable. The still life image reads well beneath clear varnish with bold colors and small details retained, such as the texture of the leaf at upper left. The wood grain is slightly visible to the naked eye in the upper right background but it is not distracting. Under UV inspection, the varnish appears thick and a faint grid pattern of craquelure is visible on the left half of the panel, with a few very small retouches faintly visible beneath the varnish, such as to address a horizontal line matching the wood grain at center. Painting can hang in its present state. Offered in a decoratively carved giltwood frame with artist nameplate.
