Still Life

Pietro Navarra XVIII sec. d.C./ inizi

This still life depicts numerous summer and late autumn fruits, whole or already opened. Figs, plums, apricots, watermelon, white and black grapes, are arranged on a surface or inside a basin with a gushing jet of water.
The two small canvases can be attributed to Pietro Navarra, a pupil of Franz Werner von Tamm.
