FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

This informal arrangement of everyday fruits includes a pair of ripe, red apples and another painted in greens and yellows. The orange stands upright, retaining its stem and green leaves, and the lemon rests on its side. Arranged without pottery or a tablecloth, the grouping emphasizes the rustic simplicity of the farmhouse countertop, indicated by subtle strokes of red, with delightful accents of blue and violet for shadows.
