About the piece

Painted in 1864, this still life by Édouard Manet showcases his confident, painterly brushwork and sophisticated use of tonal contrast. The arrangement of plums and peaches in a rustic basket is anchored by a sharp-edged knife, reflecting a modern 19th-century interpretation of classical Dutch still life traditions.
