This painting shows a woven basket filled with ripe raspberries. The berries are bright red, some still attached to green leaves. A few fallen raspberries sit on the rough ground beside the basket, and a single leaf lies nearby. The artist paid close attention to how light hits the berries and leaves. The colors look fresh, almost like you could reach in and pick one. If you like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works by Rosa Wallis.
