More about this artwork
The painting depicts a vivid and naturally rendered still life composition featuring a peach and a plum along with a cluster of green hazelnuts. The peach, on the left, is prominently shaded in rosy red and warm yellow hues, suggesting a ripeness that is visually palpable. Adjacent to it, the plum has a rich royal blue and red coloration, with its smooth, shiny texture highlighted by reflections that suggest a soft light source. A branch with robust, green leaves connects the fruits, adding a fresh, lively element to the scene. The leaves have detailed veining and a slightly wrinkled texture that contrast with the smooth, rounded forms of the fruits. The hazelnuts, placed beneath the fruits at the front edge of a neutral-toned ledge, are still encased in their green, leafy husks, grouped tightly together as if freshly picked. The backdrop is minimal, emphasizing the simplicity and focus on the detailed depiction of the fruits and nuts.
