Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Still Life with Onions" from 1917 is a charming depiction of four onions resting on a white cloth. Renoir, known for his Impressionist style, captured the soft, luminous glow of the onions with loose brushstrokes and a warm color palette. The casual arrangement of the onions, along with the subtle play of light and shadow, creates a sense of everyday life and simple beauty. This intimate still life exemplifies Renoir's mastery of capturing the fleeting essence of light and form.
