Introducing an exquisite piece of art from the talented Josef Mansfeld (Austria, 1819-1894). This oil on panel still-life painting transports you to a bygone world of beauty and elegance showcasing among other objects a porcelain tea service with its magnificent tea kettle pot on a brass stand accompanied by two delicate cups and saucers. Other still life objects are a stein which finds its place resting on a captivating book, while a bottle of port wine, half-full clear etched glass, a grilled fish on a plate, and shucked oysters (one even boasting a precious pearl) complete this enticing 19th Century Austrian display. Note the Ottoman Turkmen on the Beer Stein too. Here, you will also find a spoon and butter knife, a porcelain lidded pitcher, and a Times newspaper, all harmoniously placed on an elaborately embroidered tablecloth. Immerse yourself within this Viennese interior setting against a backdrop of vibrant red drapery with an obscure oval portrait painting in its background. It's a feast for the eyes too. This remarkable piece is authentically signed and dated by the artist himself, 'Josef Mansfeld 1888'. Let this oil painting be cherished as a true work of art in your collection.
