This antique English oil painting on slate, signed in the lower right corner by A. Ellis, presents a rustic still life of peaches and grapes in both deep indigo and pale green. The unusual slate surface adds a natural texture and depth, grounding the fruit in an earthy realism. Its wooden frame, simple yet sturdy, complements the subject matter and hints at the painting’s original purpose: to bring a touch of the harvest into the home. Both decorative and evocative, it’s a piece that speaks to everyday abundance and the artistry found in ordinary things.
