A homely kitchen scene in warm, earthy tones: in this classically composed still life, Alphonse Roman presents a carefully selected array of ingredients. A raw chicken sits on a white plate, flanked by a bundle of asparagus and a few onions. In the background, a green glazed pot and a stoneware jug add depth and contrast. The sheen on the ceramics and the subtle reflection on the linen tablecloth reflect Roman’s technical finesse. The work evokes the calm, rural atmosphere of a traditional kitchen where balance and abundance prevail.
The painting has been professionally cleaned and is presented in an ornate period frame.
