This European painting titled Still Life is a work of unknown artist from France. Presumable date of creation is late 19th century. The picture painted on canvas by oil. Its size 10 7/8 x 9 7/8 inches (i. e. 27.6 x 25.1 cm). Currently this brushwork is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in John G. Johnson Collection.
The picture interprets to us a spirit of madness and art, reigned over the boulevards of old France, which was accompanied by tobacco, alcohol and women. France of 19th century became a shelter for outcasts of all Europe. Even then, the artists of the old school thought that the dissolute lifestyle isn't good, and drunken crowd of migrants, fights, etc., really piqued them. As we can see, the artist, who took the brush and draw this picture, sought to show one of the main human vices in all its dreariness, which, unfortunately, modern in our days. Laying on the dark color layer by layer on the canvas, he built a gloomy, eerie design out of classical elements, not even knowing that his name will be forgotten.
