About the piece
Painted in 1862, this still life by Édouard Manet demonstrates the artist's early mastery of texture and light. Against a deep, atmospheric background, the pearlescent oyster shells and vibrant yellow lemons are rendered with confident, economical brushstrokes that define the essence of early modern realism.
