Pears and Oranges in a Bowl is a 1915 oil by William James Glackens, a American Impressionism work, depicting Fruit, held at Brooklyn Museum.
In the painting, a bowl is filled with pears and oranges. The bowl is painted with a dark interior and a red rim, and it sits on a white surface. The fruit is rendered in warm, earthy tones. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to the textures and colors of the fruit and the bowl. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy.
