Still-Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses
by CÉZANNE, Paul, Oil on canvas, 73 x 92 cm
The pattern of leaves against the background is unusual in C�zanne’s work, as is the highly finished surface. With the exception of the primroses, the objects in the picture appear frequently in the artist’s still-lifes: the scalloped table, the cloth pinched up is sculptural folds, and the apples nested in isolated groups.
This canvas was owned by Claude Monet.
