Stunning French 19th Century Large Oil on Canvas Still Life Painting

I sourced this gorgeous painting on my recent south of France buying trip.

It really is a stunning piece of art!

70.5 x 50.5 cm ( 27 3/4” x 19 3/4”).

It has been relined at some point and has a rippled surface. Right in the centre you can see one small area of paint loss which would be so easy to restore.

The technique to paint such a dark painting always blows me away
