Still life with watermelon, pineapple and coconut

Oil on canvas

The presence of exotic fruits such as pineapple and coconut, typical of French still life paintings of the late 19th century, suggests that the painting in question dates back to that circle and period.

The artist shows great attention to the material rendering, smooth brushstrokes and classic pyramidal layout, in the wake of Neapolitan and Belgian still lifes.
