Les Cerises

20th-century French school oil on canvas signed Anita Dubac (19th & 20th century) lower left. The work has a texture to the touch.

This antique painting is a remarkable piece from the 20th-century French School, created by the female artist Anita Dubac. Painted with oil on canvas, the artwork is signed by the artist in the lower left corner. The painting has a textured surface when touched.

Dubac's expertise is evident in this Impressionist still life composition. The artwork showcases a uniform rendering and careful texture control. The treatment of volumes is skillfully executed, with each cherry receiving individual attention through thoughtfully crafted lighting. The dark tones and rectangular shapes of the tablecloth provide a striking contrast, reflecting the influence of the "synthetism" style embraced by artists like Gauguin and Cézanne.
