Still life with pomegranates and grapes, Italian school, 17th century

Oil on canvas depicting a strikingly realistic still life with two whole pomegranates and a third split open to reveal its vivid red seeds, resting on a stone ledge. In the background, clusters of purple grapes and golden vine leaves complete the composition, immersed in dramatic chiaroscuro reminiscent of Caravaggesque painting. The treatment of light and texture highlights the contrast between the rough skin of the fruits, the shine of juicy seeds, and the softness of aged foliage. The rich palette of ochres, deep reds, and muted greens reflects the style of Baroque naturalism, particularly associated with the Neapolitan or Roman circles of the 17th century. The carved giltwood frame features stylized acanthus leaf motifs, enhancing the refined character of the piece.

CARRIER-BELLEUSE Albert-Ernest — Enameled Porcelain Covered Vase from Sèvres

Refined covered vase in enameled porcelain, produced by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres and mounted on a finely chiseled gilt bronze base. This model, known as "Saïgon", was developed under the artistic direction of Albert-Ernest CARRIER-BELLEUSE in the late 19th century, and reflects the influence of Asian aesthetics and cloisonné techniques that were highly fashionable at the time. The decoration features a profusion of stylized floral motifs, rendered in nuanced tones of blue, green, pink, and white, highlighted with gilded outlines. Butterflies and insects in raised polychrome enamel add a delicate sense of relief and intricacy to the ivory-toned surface. A gadrooned frieze in blue enamel and gold encircles the neck and base, enhancing the ornamental harmony of the piece. The underside bears several marks: a red stencil "DECORE A SEVRES" with monogram, green painted number "S.80", and various incised and painted inventory numbers. This piece exemplifies the technical virtuosity and decorative elegance of Sèvres' artistic production during the 1880s.
