Marie-Thérèse Bretagne (19th/early 20th c.), Still Life with Wine and Vessels

Marie-Thérèse Bretagne – Still Life with Wine and Vessels, Oil on Canvas
A late 19th to early 20th century French still-life painting, signed M.T. Bretagne, presented in an ornate giltwood frame. The composition depicts a rustic tabletop arrangement featuring a large wicker-covered demijohn, several wine bottles, a wooden bowl, scattered corks, a candlestick, a ceramic pitcher, and neatly folded linens. Executed with a warm, earthy palette and a fine sensitivity to texture and reflected light, the work captures both the richness of the objects and the quiet atmosphere of domestic life.
Marie-Thérèse Bretagne, a French painter active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is noted for her detailed still-life compositions that combine traditional realism with a rustic intimacy. Her paintings often celebrate everyday objects—wine, vessels, and tableware—rendered with careful observation and an evocative sense of place, aligning her with the broader French still-life tradition of the period.
