Edward Chalmers Leavitt (American, 1842-1904), "White and Red Grapes Cascading from a Basket", oil on canvas, signed and dated "1894" lower right, and with original supplier's label of "Charles G. Calder Providence, R.I." on stretcher, 30 in. x 40 in., in a period frame. E4000-6000 Provenance: Found in Rhode Island. Note: After serving in the Union navy during the Civil War, Leavitt returned to his native Providence, eventually to become one of the most celebrated painters of the "Fall River School" of Realist still-life artists, among whose members Leavitt particularly specialized in flowers, fruits and game. This unusually large and impressive canvas is one of the masterworks not only of that handsome New England genre, but of late 19th-c. still-life painting as a whole.
