ArtistStill life painting set inside a small French cottage. A few rays of sunlight from an unseen window dimly illuminate the room. On top of a long wooden table in the foreground is a bundle of flowering red clover tied with string next to a jar of honey, an earthen bowl of strawberries, a wicker basket filled with peas, a tench fish on a wooden slab, and orange poppy flowers in a small vase. Poultry including duck and a quail hang above the table. In the background a farmer's scythe and pitchfork are leaning against the stone back wall below a wooden crucifix and alongside a small wooden cart. Oil on canvas painted in the style of Hendrick Andriessen.
Follow up to my image of the month of Prairial in the French Republican Calendar. Also part of an art project I'm doing for my mother's birthday, which coincides with Prairial. Basically a still life in the Flemish style of various agricultural implements and products that are honored during the month: clover, strawberry, duck, pea, quail and poppy.
