This stylish late 19th-century still life by W Erich Taefflinger depicts an arrangement of oranges, apples and nuts. It’s a refined work with an emphasis on form and reflection.

The artwork is housed within an early 20th-century frame, which provides an unusual decorative aesthetic. On the reverse, an old inscription refers to the International Watercolour Exhibition Dresden 1892.

Signed in the upper right.
