Description

A fine pastel drawing by the Franco-German artist George Mosson, depicting three vibrant apples on a white plate. This striking sketch-like drawing clearly illustrates the artist's proficiency in the subject and medium. Mosson's thoughtful use of colour and overall balance of the composition allow for a beautiful, life-like scene. Signed and dated to the lower margin. Well-presented in a golden card mount and in an ornate gilt frame. On laid.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration, slight creasing to the upper margin and minor foxing. Otherwise, the condition of the drawing if good. Some marks and abrasion to the mount. Small scuffs and stable cracking to the frame. There is some restoration to the moulding applications, mainly to the corners.

He continued his studies at the Weimar Saxon Grand Ducal Art School, and began to exhibit his works in Berlin in 1884. He was a founding member of the artists' association Berliner Secession, as well as a co-founder of the Vereinigung der XI [de] collective.
