About the piece

Painted in 1885 during his time in Nuenen, this still life by Vincent van Gogh reflects his early interest in the somber, earthy palettes of Dutch realism. The heavy, expressive brushwork lends a tactile presence to the fruit and basket, creating a grounding piece that explores texture and shadow in a masterful way.
