About the piece

Painted in 1643, this exquisite still life by Juan de Zurbarán showcases the artist's command of Tenebrism—a style characterized by intense light and shadow. The tactile textures of the woven wicker basket, the velvet skin of the quinces, and the glistening seeds of a burst pomegranate are rendered with remarkable precision, creating a work of profound quietude and elegance.
