Basket 1877 - 1900

This simple yet striking pencil sketch, "Basket" by Paul Cézanne, depicts a bowl of fruit in a minimalist style characteristic of his later works. Created sometime between 1877 and 1900, the artwork showcases Cézanne's masterful use of line and form to convey volume and light. This preliminary study, likely for a larger composition, reflects Cézanne's fascination with the structure and essence of everyday objects.
