Just Onions 1912

William Merritt Chase's "Just Onions" from 1912 is a masterful example of a still life. It features a collection of onions, a copper pitcher, a glazed jar, and a decorative plate arranged on a wooden table. The composition emphasizes the subtle interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the textures of the objects. The onions themselves are the central focus, with their different colors and shapes creating a visually captivating arrangement. This painting is a testament to Chase's skill in depicting everyday objects with artistry and nuance.
