Still-Life with a Book
by SIGNAC, Paul, Oil on canvas, 33 x 47 cm
Signac’s Still-Life with a Book is close in colour and content to those by Vincent van Gogh, so many of whose still-lifes included a Bible or other text. In the present painting, the book is Guy de Maupassant’s Au Soleil, a collection of travel sketches published in 1881.
