About the piece
Attributed to Nicolas Tournier circa 1630, this painting is a superb example of Caravaggesque realism. The composition uses dramatic lighting to pull the figure and her bounty of grapes, apples, and figs from the deep shadows, highlighting the soft textures of her linen blouse and the vibrant blue of her bodice.
