Antoine Vollon, French 1833-1900- Wine bottle and greengages; oil on canvas, signed 'A. Vollon' (lower right), 33.2 x 41.4 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: In his day, Vollon was hailed as a second Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (1699-1779), the French master of still-lifepositions. The present work exhibits Vollon's technical virtuosity in describing the surface, light, and textures of the everyday subjects of a wine bottle and greengages. In theme, palette, and broad handling, his still-lifes further reflect the influence of his mentor Théodule Ribot (1823-1891).Please refer to department for condition report
