Antique Oil Painting – 19th-Century Still Life with Fish Bowl and Fruit

Antique Oil Painting – 19th-Century Still Life with Fish Bowl and Fruit

This finely detailed antique oil-on-canvas painting presents an elegant still life composition featuring a glass fish bowl with three swimming fish at its center, surrounded by an array of ripe fruit including grapes, melon, peaches, and a peeled orange. A single red rose rests on a lace-trimmed tablecloth, adding a touch of romance to the scene. The artist’s careful attention to texture and reflection, particularly in the glass bowl and the sheen of the fruit, reflects a traditional 19th-century still life style.

The painting is executed on stretched canvas without a frame, showing areas of age-related wear including minor paint losses, surface marks, and edge fraying. The visible tack holes along the canvas sides and the overall patina suggest a mid-to-late 19th-century date (circa 1850–1890). The work is signed “K.G.G.” in the lower right corner.

Dimensions: Approx. 20"H x 30"W 

Condition: Fair antique condition – unframed, with visible wear consistent with age, adding to its authentic period character.

A striking example of traditional still life painting, perfect for collectors of 19th-century art or those seeking a distinctive decorative focal point with both elegance and history.
