About the piece

Created circa 1630 by French Baroque master Nicolas Tournier, this oil on canvas work is a superb example of the Caravaggesque tradition. The composition centers on a young woman dressed in the starkly contrasting colors of a white linen headscarf and a brilliant red bodice. Her quiet, contemplative expression and the meticulously rendered still life of pears and plums showcase the artist's mastery of light and realistic texture.
