Still Life of Fruit

Amerikanische Malerei 1865–1870, c. 1865/1880

The artwork depicts a still life scene featuring various fruits and a basket. In the foreground, there is a bowl of red berries with a spoon, a partially peeled orange, cherries, and a lemon. To the left, three green apples are displayed in a glass bowl. In the background, a woven basket filled with round fruits is placed on a raised surface along with two pears and a sliced melon. The color palette consists of earthy tones, with greens, yellows, oranges, and reds set against a dark background. The fruits are arranged on a white tabletop, which contrasts with the darker elements in the composition.
