Persimmons 2006

"Persimmons" is a 2006 painting by Lisa Yuskavage, known for her contemporary figurative works. The painting features a young woman dressed in pink, seated with a persimmon in her hand. The composition is set against a warm, golden background, with a still life of flowers, a pear, and persimmons in the foreground. Yuskavage's signature style is evident in the realistic yet slightly distorted depiction of the figure, creating a sense of both beauty and unease.
