Still life. Flowers and fruits

About this work

This painting shows a still life with flowers and fruits. The arrangement includes a striped melon, peaches, grapes, and a wooden basket. There are also flowers in the scene, including a white bloom with a yellow center and red blossoms. The fruits and flowers are arranged on a table or shelf, with the melon and peaches in the foreground. The grapes are spilling out of the basket, and the flowers are placed behind the fruits.
