The artwork titled “Basket with Grapes on the Window” was created by Zinaida Serebriakova in 1931. Belonging to the Expressionism art movement, this still life painting captures a serene and picturesque scene through the delicate use of form and color.
In the artwork, a basket filled with a plentiful assortment of grapes is placed prominently on a window sill. The view extends beyond the window, offering a glimpse of a quaint village with terracotta rooftops and lush greenery, nestled at the foot of majestic snow-capped mountains. The vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes convey a sense of warmth and tranquility, characteristic of Serebriakova’s expressive style. The composition harmoniously blends interior and exterior elements, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a peaceful Mediterranean setting.
