Unlike
Harnett's tightly structured, almost spare arrangement, Peto included
many more objects in a looser, seemingly random composition.
Peto's palette
is brighter than Harnett's. His brushwork, looser and more painterly,
calls attention to the artist's touch, always reminding us that this is
a painted image and suggesting the artist's presence.
