About the piece

Painted around 1860 by John F. Francis, this 'Luncheon Still Life' exemplifies the artist's mastery of light and texture. The composition balances earthy textures of walnuts and wicker with the luminous clarity of glassware and ripe fruit, all set before a subtle architectural backdrop that opens onto a soft, atmospheric landscape.
