1928 Post-Impressionist Still Life with Flowers and Crab

Still Life with Flowers and Crab by G. Breton-Albrecht

A richly textured still life featuring a lively arrangement of flowers paired with a striking black crab, painted in bold, expressive strokes. The unexpected combination of subjects evokes the rustic charm of a French kitchen or seaside café, blending natural beauty with culinary tradition.

• Oil on canvas, signed G. Breton-Albrecht
• Dated 1928
• Dimensions: 21.75 x 17.75 inches (canvas)

Executed in a Post-Impressionist style, the painting emphasizes bold color, visible brushwork, and a sense of movement that brings the scene to life.

The canvas shows notable signs of age and wear, including visible paint loss around the floral area and a tear near the right side of the painting. The surface has general craquelure and wear consistent with its age, and the canvas remains on its original nailed stretcher with a central support bar typical of early 20th-century construction.

Please review all photos carefully for details of condition, including close-ups of the tear and areas of wear. The piece retains strong decorative appeal, bringing warmth and authenticity to a gallery wall or dining space.
