Signed 'R. Levy' in red lower center to right. Verso signed, titled, and dated 'Rudolf Levy: Natura morta con fiasco. 1941' on upper stretcher bar. “That which is true of the late landscapes - the continuation and perfection of the style which reached maturity in the twenties - also applies to the painter's late still lifes. Here, as well, the magical component in the capturing of the objects and the coloristic concentration predominate, and it is specifically these qualities that cause the late still-life ensembles to become a cohesive group of works. In them, the sensual and rational experience of reality combine to form an autonomous pictorial cosmos, an aesthetic and logical order. The intrinsic value of the decorative, incorporated into the construction made up of objective elements and their mutual formal and chromatic relationships, defines Levy's notion of harmony. This finds exemplary expression in these compositions” (Susanne Thesing, Rudolf Levy. Leben und Werk, Nuremberg 1990, p. 182).
