About this work

This painting shows a loose cluster of fruits and leaves on a plain background. There’s a spiky green gourd at the top, a few bright red apples, and clusters of grapes in purple and blue. Some leaves are yellow-green, others pale. The brushstrokes are soft and watery, with no sharp edges. The colors are simple but varied—mostly muted, with the red apples standing out. The fruits look fresh but are painted in a loose, sketchy style, almost like they’re quickly sketched from life. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
