Pears & Grapes

SOLD.

A brilliantly executed mid-century still life painting in tempera, painted in 1953 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

In this excellent composition, two ripe pears and a bunch of grapes in a white bag are laid out on a wooden surface and contrasting against a dark-dotted backdrop.

Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail.

The use of rich tempera hues lends depth and warmth to the scene. Every brushstroke is executed with precision, especially the intricate grain of the wood, contributing to the overall illusion of depth and form.

This tempera on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting has some marks and surface imperfections, and the frame has very minor scuffs. Please note that there is some glare evident in the photos, due to the glossy surface of the painting.

Size: 36.5 x 57 cm (including frame)
