Still Life of Fruit is a 1659 oil by Johannes Borman, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a still life of fruit on a plate. The fruit includes grapes, a peach, and an orange cut in half. There's also a walnut and a butterfly. The plate is silver and reflects the fruit. The background is dark. The fruit is arranged in a way that looks natural, like it was just placed there. The butterfly is flying near the grapes. The walnut is cracked open, showing its insides. The painting is very detailed and realistic. It looks like you could reach out and touch the fruit. You might want to look up more paintings by Johannes Borman.
