Constantin Le Roux (1850–1909) – Still Life with Cheese and Grapes

A delicate original 19th-century oil on canvas still life by French painter Constantin Le Roux, depicting a wedge of cheese under a glass dome beside a basket of grapes and flowers. Painted in oil on canvas and signed lower left, this work captures the artist’s refined sense of composition and light.

Constantin Le Roux (1850–1909) was a French painter known for his still lifes and genre scenes. His work often reflects the traditional 19th-century academic style, emphasizing realism, subtle lighting, and careful composition. He exhibited at the Paris Salon during his lifetime.

Le Roux’s mastery of texture is beautifully expressed here — from the glistening glass to the soft petals and rustic table surface. A lovely example of late 19th-century French still life painting.
