Still Life with Roses and Fruit 1863

Henri Fantin-Latour's "Still Life with Roses and Fruit" from 1863 showcases the artist's mastery of the still life genre. The painting, currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a delicate arrangement of white roses in a glass vase, a single pear, and a cluster of green grapes on a wooden table. Fantin-Latour's meticulous brushstrokes and the play of light on the objects create a sense of quietude and realism, characteristic of his style. The artist's signature in the top right corner adds an interesting element to the composition.
