Jean Frédéric Couty is a French painter born in Issoudun. Author of still lifes and landscapes, he was a student of Billoux and he exhibited in Paris between 1864 and 1867.
A still life of fish by Couty is kept at the Louviers Museum in Normandy.

This very beautiful still life in very good condition is a very decorative painting with its beautiful colors, the red of the cherries and the green of the artichokes in particular.
The artichoke is traditionally seen as a sign of abundance and prosperity. It also evokes inner wealth and the gradual discovery of beauty. The cherry is often associated with femininity, fertility and even immortality. If we add the two carafes filled with wine - white and red - represented here, we can think that this painting wants to symbolize the different forms of abundance whether it is wealth, opulence and fertility.
