Hand-signed by Georges Braque (1882 - 1963) in pencil in the lower right margin and also signed in black the plate in the lower left. Numbered 6/200 in pencil in the lower left margin. This captivating still life created by Georges Braque is incredibly rich and bold in color. Beautifully composed and balanced in shape and form, the work is enriched with a dark hue that seemingly blends in with the color of the pitcher. However, bright bursts of yellow and green break up the gloom and with the help of the detailed tablecloth, our gaze is anchored by the weight of each object against the surface of the table. This work is large in scale, helping to place the viewer in the environment from which this still life was captured.
