The artwork titled “Interior with fruit bowl,” created by Raoul Dufy in 1908, is an oil painting on canvas, exemplifying the Post-Impressionism art movement. The piece, measuring 65 x 54 cm, portrays an interior scene and is currently part of a private collection.
In the artwork, a warmly lit room is depicted with an inviting vibrancy. At the center of the composition, a wooden table hosts a white cloth and a bowl containing a few pieces of fruit, suggesting an intimate domestic setting. The overall ambiance is enhanced by the rich, red tones dominating the scene, contrasting beautifully with the dark, earthy hues of the furniture and walls. In the background, a framed picture on the wall and a statuette situated on a fireplace mantle add depth to the room, reinforcing the theme of a cozy, lived-in space. The use of bold, expressive brushstrokes and a keen sense of color reflect Dufy’s unique Post-Impressionist style, imbuing the scene with a sense of warmth and comfort.
