Bon ap

This is a large-scale contemporary still life painting titled 'Bon ap' by the artist Renata Leite, dated 2025. Measuring approximately 210cm in width and 120cm in height, the work is rendered in a realistic, illustrative style with a top-down, bird's-eye perspective. The composition features a wooden table surface occupied by various culinary elements including fresh seafood on ice, a whole mackerel, citrus fruits, spices, a bottle of champagne with flutes, floral arrangements, and formal place settings. A central draped white fabric provides a soft textile contrast to the rigid wood grain background. The color palette is rich and diverse, utilizing deep ochre for the wood, vibrant reds for shellfish, and muted greys and blues for the fish and linen. The craftsmanship exhibits high technical skill in the rendering of light, shadows, and textures, particularly the translucency revolving around the melting ice and the metallic sheen of the mackerel. The condition appears to be pristine, consistent with its recent primary market date. Technically, the brushwork varies from broad, sweeping strokes on the background to intricate, fine detail in the depiction of the individual seafood items and flowers. There are no visible signs of wear or patina, as it represents a modern piece of contemporary art. The work is unsigned on the front, suggesting identification likely resides on the reverse or via the provided artist's provenance.
