Emmy Clementine Adam (1871-?) - Stillleben mit Früchten, Fasan und Kanne

Still Life with Fruits, Pheasant, and Pitcher Oil on canvas, signed “E. Adam.”, circa 1900 WORK A lush fruit still life on a table top against a dark background: on the left a tazza with peaches and grapes, in front a shot pheasant, in the center a pineapple, on the right a tall jug with grape leaves and light-colored grapes, in the foreground pears and peaches. Warm light from the left, the fruits painted finely and juicy, the pheasant with carefully laid plumage. Large, decorative format. ARTIST / SIGNATURE Signed lower right in red “E. Adam.” The signature fits Emma Adam (born 1871 in Dresden), who is listed in the Künstlerlexikon Vollmer as a painter of flowers and fruits. We do not have a signature specimen for comparison; attribution is therefore probable, not certain. There is no catalog raisonné. Technique: Oil on canvas, stretched on a prepared frame.
