The artwork titled “Still Life Glass, Silver Goblet and Cup of Champagne” was created by Henri Fantin-Latour in 1871. This oil on canvas painting belongs to the Realism art movement and fits within the still life genre. Currently, the artwork resides in a private collection.
The artwork skillfully captures a simple yet refined arrangement on a wooden table. Prominently featured are three vessels: a delicate glass, a polished silver goblet, and a white porcelain cup with a matching saucer, possibly filled with champagne. A knife with a white handle lies horizontally across the table. The composition is characterized by muted, earthy tones which lend the scene a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The precise rendering of light and shadow emphasizes the textures of the various materials, showcasing Fantin-Latour’s meticulous attention to detail and his mastery in depicting everyday objects with a sense of elegance and realism.
