Basket with fruit 1923

Tadeusz Makowski's 1923 painting "Basket with Fruit" is a still life depicting a variety of fruits overflowing from a woven basket, set against a textured background. The composition is dominated by a large watermelon and clusters of grapes, with pears and other fruits scattered around the basket. The artist's use of muted browns, yellows, and greens gives the painting a sense of warmth and abundance, characteristic of his still life works. While the artist's career was tragically cut short in 1932, his still life paintings, such as this one, continue to be appreciated for their quiet beauty and attention to detail.
