Apples and pears in a round basket - Camille Pissarro
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
A round wicker basket rests on a white tablecloth laid on a table. It contains several fruits, mainly green and yellow pears, as well as a red apple. The handle of the basket is decorated with purple stripes, and the shadow stretches to the left, indicating light coming from the right. In the background, the wall is covered with floral wallpaper, alternating beige stripes and borders decorated with small pink flowers.
In this still life, Camille Pissarro adopts a simple, centred composition. The objects are painted with soft contours and matt colours. The fruit is not perfectly smooth or shiny, which accentuates its natural appearance. The wallpaper pattern provides a vertical structure, contrasting with the curves of the basket. The painting captures a calm and intimate interior, without sophisticated staging, in keeping with the artist's interest in scenes of everyday life.
