Still Life with Earthen Pot 1892

"Still Life with Earthen Pot" (1892) by Henri Matisse is an early example of the artist's work before his Fauvist period. It is a traditional still life composition, featuring a variety of household objects such as a jug, a pot, a ladle, and a candle. The muted colors and soft lighting create a sense of intimacy and domesticity, typical of the Realist and Impressionist movements of the time. The artwork provides a glimpse into the artist's early style and his interest in capturing the ordinary objects of everyday life.
