In this painting, a woven basket on a stone ledge contains peaches, black grapes, green grapes, and wide green leaves. Peaches are placed prominently at the top of the pile, with grape clusters overflowing on either side. The green leaves and red-tinted grapevine leaves are scattered around. The gray stone surface is visible under the basket, and the background is black.

Still Life with a Basket of Peaches and Grapes

Louise Moillon · 1636 · oil on canvas ·  Accession ID  2024.54.1

This painting shows a man seated with one knee bent, his body turned to the right and his face turned slightly back toward us. He has brown skin, high cheekbones, a short, curly black beard, and short black hair. His facial expression is neutral, and he is gazing off into the distance, his brown eyes turned slightly upwards. The man is wearing a cream-colored shirt with short sleeves, red and white striped shorts that end above his knees, and a yellow sash around his waist. His hands are clasped together on his bent knee, the other leg hanging downwards. The background is a solid light blue color with visible brushstrokes, and the man appears to sit on a red object in the bottom left corner, with a piece of blue fabric hanging off of it or in front of it.
