Rideau, Cruchon et Compotier is an 1893 to 1894 oil on canvas still life by Paul Cezanne, measuring 60 by 73 centimeters, depicting a wooden table set with an earthenware jug, a bowl of apples and oranges, a draped white cloth and a curtain in the background. It sold at Sotheby's on 10 May 1999 for 60.5 million dollars, making it, at the time, the most expensive still life painting ever sold at auction. The buyer was the financier Kenneth Griffin, who resold it in a private sale to the casino owner Steve Wynn in August 1999; it remains in a private collection.
