Still Life with Pomegranates: Antique Oil Painting on Glass antique treasure chest Fascinating read and beautiful ephemeraA stunning antique still life painting, circa early 1900s of pomegranates, painted on the surface of the glass as well as on the reverse. The detail and technique is glorious. The beautiful muted colours in ochre and burgundy remind me of a Renaissance piece and you can almost feel the texture of the fruit. A beautiful piece for a kitchen or dining room. It also has a lovely old wooden frame. It looks beautiful hanging or placed on an easel.
