A richly characterful French still life depicting mushrooms and a white dish arranged across a pale tablecloth. It has a wonderful warmth to it: earthy browns, deep reds, soft ochr es and cool greys, all held together by loose, confident brushwork. The mushrooms give the painting a more unusual quality than a traditional fruit still life, making it feel earthy, abundant and very suited to a kitchen or dining room. Presented in an ornate Montparnasse frame, it has real decorative presence on the wall while still feeling informal and full of life. Oil on canvas by Charles Whittmann, (France, 1876–1953), signed lower right. Dimensions 65 × 57 cm, framed. Show more
