Kitchen Art | Croissant on a Chinoiserie Plate | Caya Crum

A croissant is not a still life subject in the old sense. It is breakfast. Caya set one on a blue-and-white chinoiserie plate and let the still life art sort itself out from there.

Croissant Still Life Art by Caya Crum

She has a run of these: one thing set on a piece of chinoiserie and painted straight, no arrangement, no drapery, nothing borrowed from the Dutch. The plate does all the formal work. The food declines to take it seriously. That gap between the china and what has been put on it is the whole painting, and it is why the series is funny without ever doing anything obviously funny.

As still life art it belongs where food actually happens — over a coffee bar, in a breakfast nook, on the short wall of a kitchen. It behaves more like coffee bar art than dining-room art, and it wants company: Avocado on a Chinoiserie Plate is the same plate with a different breakfast on it. And if it lands over a dining table after all, nobody will mind a bit — more company in dining room wall art.

Caya Crum, working in Texas. Original family artwork, printed to order. Cigarettes and Coffee, Breakfast of Champions is the same morning taken in a less wholesome direction.

Product FAQ

What is Croissant on a Chinoiserie Plate?

A bakery-case croissant served on blue-and-white china — Caya Crum's ode to breakfast treated with proper ceremony.

Does the croissant print pair with the avocado chinoiserie print?

They're siblings — same chinoiserie plates, same wit — and they hang beautifully together. A pair makes an instant start on a kitchen gallery wall.

What room suits the croissant chinoiserie print?

It earns its keep as kitchen wall art or dining room wall art — over a coffee station, in a breakfast nook, anywhere the morning happens.

Who is the croissant print a good gift for?

Bakers, brunch hosts, and francophiles. It's a natural hostess gift and a sweet housewarming pick — original art by Caya Crum.

Will this look like an original painting or a print?

Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.

What sizes does this print come in?

Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.

How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?

Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
