About this work

This painting shows two women standing close together. The one on the left wears a dark brown dress with white patches and a light-colored collar. The woman on the right is dressed in a simple blue dress and holds a tray of fruit—peaches and apples. Behind them, a leafy plant adds green to the scene. The women’s faces are calm but not smiling, and the colors are flat with no deep shadows. The fruit looks real, but the painting itself feels a little stiff. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how artists use light and shadow differently.
