This beautiful painting depicts a still life arrangement of a selection of fruit, including a peach, a pear and a plum sitting on a surface covered by a white lace edged cloth. It is incredibly well painted - each piece of fruit looks good enough to eat - but it is the lace border to the cloth that appeals to me the most.
Brian Davies was one of Britains foremost still life artists. He was heavily inspired by the Dutch still life artists of the seventeenth century such as Van der Ast, De Heem, Heda and Claesz who had revolutionised the still life genre by painting texture and light in intricate detail.
This painting has a label for the Granby Gallery in Bakewell, which held exhibitions of Davies work, and the original price label. It is painted on linen and is presented in a moulded gilt frame with linen slip.
We have two other paintings available by this artist, one of which is a partner to this one.
