More about this artwork
"Le Cerises" (The Cherries), painted in 1913 by Charles Martin, is a delightful representation of early 20th-century art that captures the simple pleasure of enjoying nature's bounty. In this charming tableau, a stylish young woman stands beneath a cherry tree, her attire a striking shade of blue that contrasts vividly against the soft pastel background. Her long, flowing dress and elegantly draped scarf accentuate her graceful figure, while her hat, also blue, shades her eyes highlighted with a carefree expression.She appears almost in mid-dance, lightly stepping on the grass dotted with fallen cherries as she holds out her scarf to collect more of these fresh, luscious fruits. The tree above her, heavy with red cherries, bends slightly, suggesting a bountiful harvest. The scene is set in a tranquil orchard, where the shades of green and hints of floral hues dotting the landscape evoke a serene, almost idyllic setting.
