Exhibition: Relatable Works:
A comparable oil on canvas of similar size (63.5cm x 53.5cm) and subject entitled “A still life with a garland of fruit suspended from blue ribbons and a goblet in a niche”, signed by Marie Tassaert, has recently been acquired by an important international Museum from Rafael Valls gallery in London. It is interesting to note the similar composition of fruit garlands surrounding a central niche. The fruits and leaves on both paintings are identical and clearly painted by the same hand, as is the stone niche up to the identical “trompe l’oeil” cracks in the stone.
