This fine early 20th-century still life by English artist Oliver Clare (1853-1927) depicts an arrangement of soft fruit including plums, gooseberries, raspberries and peach. A delicious ensemble from a British garden.

Oliver Clare, like his father, George Clare (1830-1900), was a still life specialist. Able to capture the nuances of his subject with skill and appreciation.

Signed in the lower right and framed.
