"Benjamin Raspail Fils, Trompe l'Oeil Still Life, Oil On Panel. Dated 1866."
Very beautiful trompe l'oeil by Benjamin Raspail fils (France, 1823 - 1899), dated 1866. Oil on walnut panel. The two birds, a goldfinch and a titmouse are very finely painted and very detailed. At the bottom right you see the remains of a paper label no. 40, probably a label from an exhibition. The condition of the painting is very good, the frame needs some restoration (clearly visible in the photos) Panel dimensions: 24.5 cm x 19 cm. Frame dimensions: 39.5 cm x 34.7 cm
