About the piece

Created in 1903, this still life by Paula Modersohn-Becker showcases her transition towards a more modernist aesthetic. The composition balances a vibrant blue-patterned bowl of fruit with the delicate textures of a pearl-draped jug and a ceramic plate, all set against a cool, atmospheric blue backdrop.
