Gnarled, ash-brown roots woven through a muddy, rocky bank and sprays of dark green leaves fill this loosely painted, horizontal landscape. Touches of spring green in the lower right corner suggest ground cover. The roots grip the rocks in the top left quadrant of the composition, and layers of rocks pile to the right. The space behind the trees is dark brown, and a few touches of burnt orange suggest flowers or turning leaves.

Wild Olive Tree Roots, Valldemosa, Majorca

John Singer Sargent · 1908 · oil on canvas ·  Accession ID  1991.177.1

This painting is a still life composition with two peaches, a bunch of green grapes, and a glass of clear water on a wooden surface. The peaches are on the left and right side, the grapes are in the middle, and the glass of water is in the center and slightly towards the back. The peaches are painted in shades of pale yellow and orange, with hints of deep red, while the grapes are pale green with some hints of yellow or rose-pink tones. The clear glass and water in it are painted in shades of light gray with white reflections of light. The brown surface at the bottom of the painting reflects the colors of the fruit. The wall behind them is a light brownish-gray color.
