About the piece
Painted around 1876 by Antoine Vollon, this still life is a study in texture and light. The creamy white of the cheese is rendered with thick, confident brushstrokes that contrast sharply against the deep, atmospheric shadows of a rustic interior, accompanied by earthy tones of ceramic and hanging produce.
