The painting shows a still life of purple plums. It's interesting because the artist used simple objects to create a sense of depth. The plums seem to be the main focus, but the background and the table they're on add to the overall feeling. To learn more about similar still life paintings, look into the work of artist Carducius Plantagenet Ream.
