About the piece

Painted in 1888 by the renowned Brazilian artist Estêvão Silva, this masterfully executed still life captures the varied textures of fresh garden produce and game. The composition centers on a rustic basket overflowing with leafy greens and bright radishes, set against a deep, moody background that highlights the brilliant blue plumage of the bird in the foreground.
