Natură moartă cu prune; verso: peisaj cu case is a 1935 by Mendel Wechsler Arnold, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a still life with a bowl of dark blue fruit, possibly prunes, on a table. To the left are some ears of corn, and to the right is a dark blue mug on a white cloth. The background is dark, and the overall mood is subdued. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of spontaneity. The colors are muted, with the dark blue of the fruit and mug standing out against the lighter tones of the table and cloth. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography, and its use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume.
