Ripe peaches spill out from a wooden bowl, their tender flesh rolling across a dusty ground before a bunch of bruised bananas. One lone green apple punctuates the scene.

Burlington Bertie Antiques offers for your consideration a gorgeous early Nineteenth-Century still life. This masterpiece in oil on board is signed C. Vernor. Upon an original framer?s label on the back, the dates 1820-1822 have been written in pencil.

<BR><BR>

Expertly and carefully rendered, the artist shows a particular brilliance in the gentle way the bananas (an uncommon fruit at the time) have been painted. The peaches?rich in color, perfect in form, show us that Vernor was a true master. The rogue green apple leads us to Vernor?s signature. Symbolism? Perhaps. But, likely just artistic license.

<BR><BR>

In its original, lacey, pierced frame (with only minor age damage), this work of art would be a gorgeous addition to your home whether in the dining room or foyer.
