Sugar Bowl, Apple and Orange — Fine Art

A sugar bowl, an apple and an orange rest on a table in Sugar Bowl, Apple and Orange. Pierre-Auguste Renoir paints the fruit with loose strokes and warm tones. The brushwork stays open, with paint laid in separate touches rather than smoothed flat. The fruit shapes hold their weight on the surface.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The black frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. The dark line separates the painted ground from the space around it, so the fruit stays on its table.

A kitchen wall above the stove lets you read the fruit first and the marks second. The bowl and fruit line up across the middle of the print.
