Fruit bowl painted on black board. Fruit is cut and done very well. Looks realistic
34.5 x 24.5 with frame
Hello, this item is a mid-to-late 20th century still life painting depicting a fruit bowl composition, rendered in oil or acrylic on a black-painted board. The painting displays a realistic treatment of various fruits including grapes, melons, and peaches, with strong highlights and rich color tones. The visible signature appears to read “Ghil” or a similar variant, though the artist remains unidentified in standard auction databases. The ornate gold-toned frame, together with a label on the reverse, suggests it may have been originally sold through a decorative arts outlet or local gallery, rather than by a recognized fine art dealer.
Given its decorative appeal, realistic execution, and relatively large format (34.5 x 24.5 inches with frame), this piece holds modest commercial value in the decorative art market. Without a known artist or listed sales history, the estimated fair market value falls in the range of $100 to $250 USD, primarily for its aesthetic and interior design utility.
