Les Figues by Louise Chimot, French Art Deco Still Life Oil Painting, c.1920, Original Giltwood Frame

Meet Les Figues (The Figs), a quietly ravishing French still life signed by Louise Chimot and painted around 1920. A green ceramic pitcher leans in beside a floral-painted tumbler, a brass bowl glints, and a tumble of figs, peaches and grapes spills across a striped linen cloth. It is the sort of picture that makes a room exhale. There is a whisper of Cezanne in the structure and a warm, almost Iberian light playing over the fruit, the discreet, faintly dreamlike magic of a still life touched by a woman's sensibility. Louise Chimot was a French painter active in the 1920s and 1930s who exhibited in Spain, and her hand is sure, generous and unmistakably French.

Styling & Collectors Inspiration

A small oil with this much soul wants good company. Group it salon style with our Mystical Roses still life by Aurel Naray, c.1920 and our charming oval oil of a classical nude in a golden frame for an instant wall of early 20th century painting. Hang it over a console beside the Stefan Boca autumn landscape in its antique French frame, then let the period sing by adding a 1920s French Art Deco bronze lamp with pate de verre shades for a warm evening glow. Equally at home in a Parisian kitchen, a panelled study or a collector's stairwell.
