The artwork, titled “Still Life Apples and Grapes,” was created by Henri Fantin-Latour in the year 1880. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of still life. Currently, the artwork is held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a rustic basket filled with green grapes, some of which spill onto the table in front of it. Adjacent to the basket, two apples—one predominantly green with a hint of red and the other more uniformly green—are placed, providing a contrast in both form and color. The background is understated, ensuring the viewer’s focus remains on the exquisitely detailed fruit. The painting conveys a sense of quiet elegance and attention to natural details, characteristic of the Realism movement.
