Studie af æbler og pærer is a 1747 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, depicting Fruit, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows six pieces of fruit arranged on a rough, brown surface. There are four apples—some whole, some cut in half—with a mix of red and yellow skin. Two pears sit below, one whole and one sliced open. A few green leaves peek out near the apples. The background is a simple, faded brown, and the whole scene looks like it’s part of an old book page. The artist used watercolor to paint each fruit with careful attention to color shifts, like the red blush on the apples or the fuzzy texture of the pears. The way the light hits the fruit makes them look almost real. Next, check out how watercolor lets artists create soft, layered colors.
