This painting shows a simple still life. A dark bowl sits in the center, surrounded by a few pieces of fruit. The fruit includes what looks like an apple, a pear, and possibly an orange or a peach. The bowl and fruit are set against a dark background. The fruit is arranged casually, as if it was just set down. The bowl is dark and seems to be made of clay or ceramic. The overall mood of the painting is subdued and quiet. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume. Look up chiaroscuro next.
