Girl with a basket of fruit Date 1863

Frederic Leighton’s “Girl with a Basket of Fruit” from 1863 is a classic example of Pre-Raphaelite art. It depicts a young woman, bathed in warm light, with a basket of fruit balanced on her head. The painting is known for its meticulous detail, particularly in the rendering of the woman's skin and the textures of the fruit and basket. Leighton's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, while the woman’s serene expression evokes a sense of classical beauty.
