Still Life with Fruit Dish is a 1890 oil by Paul Cezanne, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Fruit, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a still life with a white bowl filled with fruit, sitting on a white cloth. There are apples and oranges in the bowl, and more fruit scattered around it. The background is a light blue color. The fruit is painted in a way that looks rough and textured, with thick brushstrokes. The colors are muted, with lots of blues and greens. The overall effect is one of simplicity and calmness. If you're interested in seeing more paintings like this, you might want to check out the work of Paul Cézanne.
