About the piece
Painted in 1886 during Van Gogh's early period in Paris, this still life demonstrates his mastery of earthy tones and thick, expressive brushwork. The humble composition of bread, meat, and a basket of apples is elevated through dramatic lighting and a rich, dark palette typical of his Dutch-influenced works.
