About the artwork

This painting shows a summer still life at an open window overlooking a green landscape. On the table are a basket of citrus fruits, a bowl of red apples, some individual fruits and a bowl of pastries. Next to the fruit is a large ceramic jug with a bouquet of flowers, full of sunflowers, purple bloomers and green branches. The light falls directly on the table and makes the colours stand out brightly. Outside, you see grass, flowers and trees, adding to the feeling of a summer day.

This work fits well in a country or classic kitchen, a sunny dining area or a living room with natural materials such as wood and linen. It also comes into its own in an interior with light walls and soft colours. It suits spaces where tranquillity, nature and homeliness are central.

The style of this work is impressionistic, with loose, powerful brushstrokes and a palpable paint texture that makes the scene lively. The artist uses light and shadow. There is no emphasis on precision, but on feeling, movement and the atmosphere of a summer morning.

The use of colour is warm. There is a lot of yellow in the citrus fruits and sunflowers, which immediately draws attention. That yellow is softened by the cool green of leaves and the landscape outside. The apples add reds and pinks, while the flowers also bring shades of purple and lilac. The ceramic jug with blue accents brings calm to the centre of the work, and the soft light streaming through the window gives everything a warm, golden glow. The colours are rich but not garish; they flow into each other like light does on a summer day.
