Cocos 1893

"Cocos" is a still life painting created in 1893 by Puerto Rican artist Francisco Oller. The work features a cluster of coconuts, some whole and some halved, realistically rendered with intricate detail. The artist masterfully captures the texture of the coconuts' shells and the delicate veins of the coconut palm's leaves. Oller's work is known for its focus on everyday objects and scenes from his native Puerto Rico. "Cocos" is an example of Oller's keen observation of nature and his ability to create visually compelling representations of the natural world.
