Italian painter (18th century) – The fruit seller.

70,5 x 58,5 cm (without frame) – 88,5 x 75,5 cm (with frame).

Oil on canvas, in a carved wooden frame.

The painting depicts a genre scene set in an interior, with a young fruit vendor flanked by a seated child. The composition revolves around the abundant variety of fruit arranged in the foreground: baskets of peaches, grapes, figs, sliced ​​watermelon, and citrus fruits enliven the scene with a rich color palette reminiscent of the 17th-century Flemish and Lombard still life tradition, here reinterpreted in the style of 18th-century Italy. The female figure, with its lively gesture and animated expression, and the child biting into a fruit introduce a popular narrative typical of contemporary genre painting.
