Italian painter (18th century) - The fruit seller.

Italian painter (18th century) - The fruit seller. 70.5 x 58.5 cm (unframed) - 88.5 x 75.5 cm (framed). Oil on canvas, in carved wooden frame. The painting depicts a genre scene set in an interior, with a young fruit seller accompanied by a seated child. The composition revolves around the abundant variety of fruits displayed in the foreground: baskets of peaches, grapes, figs, sliced watermelon, and citrus fruits animate the scene with a chromatic richness reminiscent of the 17th-century Flemish and Lombard still-life tradition, reinterpreted here in the taste of the 18th-century Italian school. The female figure, with her lively gesture and animated expression, and the child biting into a fruit introduce a popular narrative element typical of contemporary genre painting.
