1953 French Still Life Painting~Rustic Kitchen Scene

This charming and unique French still life, signed and dated 1953, captures the warmth of a rustic kitchen with its rich, moody palette. A copper pot, freshly cut bread, crisp radishes, and a deep-hued cabbage rest on a classic blue-and-white checkered cloth, evoking the essence of traditional French cuisine. The artist’s expressive brushwork and use of light bring depth and texture to the composition, making it a striking addition to any kitchen or dining space. How about a cozy breakfast nook?

Unframed with visible canvas edges, this piece exudes vintage character and would pair beautifully with antique kitchenware or bring character to a modern kitchen. A perfect find for lovers of French country style and timeless still-life artistry.

Hand selected in the St. Ouen market in Paris, it was chosen for its quintessentially French rustic look as well as, its fun but mossy colors, that seem both light and dark at the same time. Add the gingham linen, and these piece could not be left behind!
