About this work

This painting shows a simple wooden table with three lemons and two oranges. The fruit looks fresh, with bright yellow skins and green leaves. Shadows make the lemons pop against the dark background. The artist uses thick paint in places, making the fruit’s texture feel real. This technique, called impasto, adds depth without fancy tricks. See how the light hits the lemons? It’s like sunlight in a quiet room. Check out Gillemans cel Bătrân, Jan Pauwel I next.
