About this work

A painting titled Still Life with Oysters by Théodule Augustin Ribot, dated 1823, shows a heap of open and closed oyster shells resting on a brown surface. The pale, pearly interiors of the shells catch the light against a deep, dark background, and the loose, textured brushwork gives the shells a tactile quality.
