About this work

A table holds a bowl of ripe peaches—some red, some yellow—spilling over the sides. Behind them, a dark bottle with a round top sits next to a green bottle wrapped in a yellow cloth. To the right, a clear vase holds a single white flower. The background is a dim room with a wooden door and shelves. The peaches look almost too real, their colors glowing against the muted tablecloth. The artist used thick brushstrokes to make the light hit the fruit differently. Try looking up impasto to see how this painting’s texture works.
