About the piece
Painted around 1875 by Antoine Vollon, this masterpiece is renowned for its extraordinary use of impasto to mimic the physical texture of butter. The rich yellow mound, accompanied by white eggs and a wooden-handled knife, emerges from a deep, atmospheric background, making it a sophisticated focal point for a kitchen, dining room, or gallery wall.
