About the piece

Painted in 1873, this work by Emilie Preyer exemplifies the Düsseldorf school's mastery of still life. The composition features a rich array of autumn fruits—velvety peaches, translucent grapes, and deep-hued plums—arranged alongside shimmering glassware on a crisp white tablecloth, showcasing the artist's extraordinary ability to render light and texture with hyper-realistic precision.
