This richly textured still life, showcases a vivid arrangement of fruit placed in an ornate blue ceramic bowl. With deep autumnal tones and strong contrast, the composition blends classical still life traditions with bold, almost sculptural color choices. Apples, grapes, citrus, and a gourd overflow with ripeness, while sliced fruit in the foreground adds a tactile realism and invites closer inspection.
The painting bears the marks of age and provenance, back with blackened patina and partially visible gallery label from Copenhagen suggest it was once part of a local collection or exhibition. The deep reds and velvety background ground the painting in a timeless atmosphere, evoking themes of abundance, transience, and domestic elegance.
