About the piece

Created around 1895, this work by Paul Cézanne is a quintessential example of his exploration of form and volume. The composition artfully arranges a blue-and-white ginger jar among a scatter of pears and apples, all unified by the heavy, architectural folds of a white tablecloth. His deliberate brushwork and vibrant yet earthy palette create a sense of permanence and structural harmony.
