La table garnie is a 1866 oil by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Realism work, held at Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.
This painting depicts a still life with a vase of hydrangeas, a bowl of fruit, and a plate of strawberries on a table. The hydrangeas are in a clear glass vase, and the fruit includes peaches, figs, and avocados. The table is covered with a white tablecloth, and there is a knife on the table next to the fruit. The painting is done in oil paint and features a realistic style. The colors are muted, with shades of pink, green, and brown dominating the palette. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. You might want to look up more works by Henri Fantin-Latour.
