About the piece

Painted around 1896, 'The Large Pear' showcases Paul Cézanne’s signature approach to still life, where objects are defined by their geometric essence and tonal relationships. The composition centers on a prominent pear resting on a simple ceramic plate, flanked by peaches and apples atop a rustic wooden table, all set against a moody, textured background characteristic of late 19th-century French modernism.
