About this work

This image shows a single peach hanging from a branch with green leaves. The peach is ripe, with a fuzzy skin and some small spots. Below it, another peach is cut in half, revealing its pit and juicy inside. The artist used fine lines to create shading and texture, making the leaves and fruit look almost real. The name *Galo-Bayeux* is written at the bottom, which might be the peach’s variety. Want to see more like this? Look up engraving.
