“Sally Avery with Still Life” is a portrait created by Milton Avery in 1926, associated with the Post-Impressionism art movement. The artwork features a serene composition, placing emphasis on both the human figure and elements of still life, such as a bowl of fruit.
In the artwork, a contemplative figure, presumably Sally Avery, is depicted with softened yet expressive lines. The subject’s downcast gaze and gentle posture convey introspection and calm. A bowl of colorful apples rests prominently on a table, adding contrast and balance to the composition. The dark backdrop accentuates the subjects in the foreground, drawing the viewer’s attention to the interplay of light and shadow. Employing a subdued palette, the artist effectively combines elements of portraiture with still life to evoke a sense of quiet contemplation.
