About this work

This painting depicts a group of women gathered around a tree, picking fruit. The women are dressed in long, flowing robes and are shown in various poses, some reaching up towards the branches and others bending down to collect the fruit. The tree is tall and slender, with lush green leaves and vibrant red fruit. The scene is set against a soft, muted background, with hints of blue and green that evoke a sense of serenity and tranquility. The overall mood of the painting is one of peacefulness and harmony, as the women work together to gather the fruit. The use of tempera in this painting adds a sense of texture and depth to the image, with visible brushstrokes and subtle color variations.
