Henry Le Monnier Original Still Life Oil Painting 1930s Gilt Pitcher Grapes

A rare original oil painting by the celebrated French illustrator Henry Le Monnier (1893-1978). Famous for his iconic Art Deco posters, Le Monnier's original oils are highly sought after for their rarity and masterful use of light.

This composition features a brilliantly rendered gold pitcher and translucent grapes, popping against a deep, dark background—a hallmark of Le Monnier's bold graphic style. The reverse side bears the clear, authentic stamp of "Maison Blanchet Paris," the historic supply shop used by the great masters of the era, providing undeniable provenance for this 20th-century French work.
