About the piece

Created around 1875, this still life by Paul Cézanne captures the artist's early exploration of form and structure. The composition juxtaposes the verticality of a simple milk jug with the rounded, floral-patterned bowl, all unified by the rich, tactile brushstrokes and a grounded, earthy palette characteristic of late 19th-century French painting.
