This painting shows a bowl of fruit on a table. There are pears, grapes, and a few apples. A woven basket sits behind the bowl, and a cloth drapes over the edge of the table. The fruit looks almost real—some pears shine slightly, while grapes cluster together. The dark background makes the colors pop. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create this effect.
