Apples & pears is a 1950 watercolor by Matthew Arnold Bracy Sir Smith, depicting Grape, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a loose, watercolor sketch of fruit. You can see apples and pears in soft blues, greens, and pinks. Some grapes are tucked in the bottom left corner, barely sketched. The shapes are simple and wobbly, with light outlines and flat colors. The artist used quick, loose strokes—no tight details here. It feels like a sketch more than a finished work.

A watercolor painter working in the early twentieth century, Smith produced small, still scenes like *Landscape in Provence* and *Apples & pears* in soft, layered washes.
