Fruit Still Life with a Glass: Exquisite Composition Organization

(1838, 's-Hertogenbosch / Den Bosch - 1916, ibid.) Fruit Still Life with a Glass. A skillfully organized composition consisting of apples and pears, a sliced apple and a walnut, with a squared stone block. A green glass goblet containing a fruit-laden branch, with scattered fillet leaves in the foreground on the ground. Executed in the finely detailed style of the Old Masters, this artwork is a natural piece from the small, well-known oeuvre of the female artist, who specialized in still lifes with flowers and fruits and likely learned the craft from her father, Willem Verbeet (1801-1887). From 1854 to 1863, she exhibited several times in 's-Hertogenbosch, Amsterdam, The Hague, and Leeuwarden. Oil on mahogany panel. Signed and dated: 1856. Dimensions: 39.5 cm x 31 cm. Framed.
