Claude Gémy (French, Provence)

Still Life with Fruit and Garden Bench

A lively Provençal still life by Claude Gémy, featuring fruit, wine, flowers, and a sunlit garden bench beyond the table. Painted in gouache with his characteristic bright palette and loose, expressive brushwork, the composition captures the warmth and everyday charm of southern French life. The use of saturated colour and simplified forms reflects Gémy’s intimate, joyful approach to domestic subjects.

A decorative and characterful example of the artist’s work, typical of his vibrant still lifes inspired by the light and atmosphere of Provence.

Gouache on card laid on wood. In simple painted wooden frame. Signed to the lower right.
