About this work

This painting shows a simple still life. A metal vase holds a green plant with broad leaves. Next to it sits a white cloth draped over a table. On the table, a shallow metal bowl holds two peaches—one yellow, one orange—and a single pink flower with four petals leans against the cloth. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the peaches a textured look. The lighting is soft, making the shapes stand out without harsh shadows. If you like this style, look up impasto.
