Antique Framed Oil Painting on Canvas by Alfred Defize (1873-1944)

Antique Framed Oil Painting on Canvas by Alfred Defize (1873-1944) was well known in Belgium for his versatility, skilled at interiors, landscapes and portraiture.  In this distinctive still life study, Defize has captured the beauty of the artistically hand-painted porcelains in a display atop a commode, while combining the bowl of fruit, a vase of flowers, and a framed botanical artwork on the wall as a backdrop for an unusual and diverse combination.  Survives in its original frame.
