The pair are painted on wood panel and done circa 1760 by a country artist working from life. Each composition is very similar but subtly different and incorporating different leaves and or objects while retaining the same fruit. Both panels show the hand plained nature of the panels surface, exhibit wear and some wood grain bleeding through (see photo 6) the paint but this is to be expected from rural panels like this painted in this manner without gessoing to the surface. There is also a slightly different size to each panel but both read the same size, when not directly next to each other, as companion works. Of interest are the Chinese blue and white vase in one of the paintings. The pair comes from the estate of Robert Jackson. Mr. Jackson was a painter of some note who worked doing faux painting and furniture painting for some of America’s top designers for many years. He collected fine porcelains, European furniture from many countries and styles to use as examples and reference works in his personal business. He had these works framed in material that is appropriate for the paintings and are good examples of the Period Dutch School of framing.
