An antique 19th-century oil painting on canvas depicting a classical fruit still life composition featuring apples and green grapes. Signed in the lower right corner with the initials "L.M.C." Set in an elaborate, deep-profile molded giltwood and frame. Condition shows significant age-appropriate wear. The painting exhibits heavy craquelure throughout, along with surface grime and paint loss/flaking, most notably a visible loss to the central red apple, which seems to have been painted over later. This area of inpainting exhibits notable craquelure to its edges where it meets rest of painting. The canvas is loose within the frame. The ornate gilt frame shows scattered rubbing, finish losses, and chips to the molded elements. See photos for more item and condition details.
