Basket of Pomegranates / Panier de Grenades

Our eye is immediately captivated by the woven basket, brimming with brightly colored pomegranates. Placed on the wood table in the Parisian salon, it dominates the painting.

In this painting style, the artist uses outlines:

  the geometric weave of the rounded basket

  accentuating the curving of the handle;

  the fruits in the basket;

  defining the top of the table;

  the trim on white door.

Two paintings of Baskets of Fruits, one overturned and the other brimming, make a delightful pair.
