Basket of Peaches, Antique Oil on Canvas (with a few tears) graphic sign having lived for some time

having lived for some time very near the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City

I'd guess this large hand-thrown vase dates to the 1960s or early 70s

which has a acquired a wonderful warm dry patina

lending themselves to all sorts of arrangements

He's all of 4 1/8 inches tall

Basket of Peaches, Antique Oil on Canvas (with a few tears) graphic sign having lived for some timeThis old folk painting of a basket of peaches has a few obvious tears in the canvas, but I like the big spill of them so much and it seems rather right that one would just want to tear right into them! With a nice sort of moodiness about it, and also a real radiance and pop to the fruit in the right light (more so than my photos convey.) Late 19th c. or so, I believe. 20 1 4" x 16 1 4". Tears to the canvas as documented. In generally good condition
