About this work

This painting shows a simple table covered with a cloth that’s mostly blue and gray. On it sits a white bowl with a few fruits—an orange, a green apple, and a pear—and a small bunch of greens. Next to the bowl is a dark jug, and a single green apple lies on the cloth near the edge of the table. The background is dark and blurry, making the table stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the painting a textured look. The colors are muted, with soft shadows blending into the shapes. If you like this kind of painting, look up still life.
