Still Life With a Jar and Fruits

About this work

This painting shows a simple scene of everyday objects. There’s a jar with a lid sitting next to a squash and a few apples. The apples are in a wooden crate, and the whole setup sits on a table with a blue-green cloth underneath. The colors are mostly muted, with the jar standing out in warm orange. The brushstrokes are thick, almost rough, making the shapes feel real but not perfectly smooth. This style gives the painting a lived-in, slightly uneven look.
