A rare depiction of grapes in Cézanne's body of work, this small still life presents a closeup view of a simple subject. Cézanne outlined each grape in blue and shaded the modest white plate with bluish green strokes. This painting was cut from a larger canvas that featured other small unrelated sketches. As in his drawing practice, where he would rotate his sheet to study different motifs, Cézanne treated his composite canvases as spaces of formal investigation.
