Still life painting of an carved urn, grapes, peaches, plums, pink hollyhocks and strawberries on a stone ledge, with butterflies against a dark background.

Still Life with Flowers and Fruit

A still life on a stone ledge shows a carved terracotta urn wrapped in grapevines, with heaps of pale green and dark purple grapes, peaches, plums, a pumpkin, pink hollyhocks, morning glories, and strawberries. Butterflies hover against a muted grey-brown background, and the finely detailed painting renders each leaf and petal carefully.
