Claude-Francois Desportes
}.webp', extensionName: 'dorotheum')})
(Paris 1695–1774)
A still life with two rabbits, a parrot, fruit and ornamental silver objects, oil on canvas, 113.5 x 147 cm, framed,
The young Desportes certainly inherited his predilection for hunting and fruit still lifes from his father, the still life painter, Alexandre François Desportes (1661–1743). Claude-François created a tension between flora and fauna and the attributes of courtly life. Interspersed with tableware and framed by the curved marble socle of a fountain, grapes, apples, pears and pomegranates are artfully arranged. The rabbits and the parrot interrupt this fixed order and yet still form part of this careful composition with elements played off against one another.
