Description
THE CIRCLE OR STUDIO OF PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR (1841–1919) Still Life with Onions, Apples, a Book and a Bouquet of Daisies Sketch, oil on canvas mounted on panel. This intimate composition is set upon a table covered with a white tablecloth with pronounced folds, catching the light. On the left, a cluster of four red onions with sprouting green stalks displays shades of copper and purple. In the centre, two apples rest in front of a closed, folded newspaper placed on its side. The background is crowned on the right by a basket containing a generous bouquet of small wildflowers. The neutral background, fluidly brushed in shades of brown and grey-green, highlights the texture and plump colour of the fruit and vegetables. Condition: As is. Unsigned study. Clear studio pin holes in the upper corners. Slight scuffing and small areas where paint is missing at the edges, particularly along the top edge. Dimensions: 33 x 46 cm
