About the piece

Attributed to the French master Pierre Dupuis, this 1650 still life captures the quiet opulence of the Baroque era. The composition features branches of glowing apricots and dark plums arranged against a deep, atmospheric background, contrasted by the sharp blue of a decorative casket and ewer. Resting on a rich red embroidered textile, the work demonstrates Dupuis's celebrated ability to render naturalistic textures and dramatic chiaroscuro.
