Flowers and Fruit on a Table 1791

Jens Juel's "Flowers and Fruit on a Table" (1791) is a still life painting that captures the beauty of simple, everyday objects. The composition features a variety of fruits, including apples, pears, grapes, and peaches, all arranged on a wooden table. A delicate arrangement of flowers in a glass vase adds a touch of elegance to the scene. The inclusion of a butterfly in the background evokes a sense of tranquility and peace. The painting's rich colors and meticulous details demonstrate Juel's mastery of the still life genre. The piece is housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, and its intimate scale (27.5 cm x 39.5 cm) suggests that it was likely intended for a private collection.
