Beautiful mid 19^th century oil on canvas American Folk Art still life painting of fruit on a table. The painting is in good order although it could do with a light clean. It has not been relined or repaired.

We are not sure of the artist but it is very much in the style of some of the Peale family of painters operating in America from the early 19^th to the late 19^th century. Any suggestions would be welcome.
