Pruimen c. 1815 - 1821

"Pruimen" is a watercolor painting by Albertus Jonas Brandt, executed between 1815 and 1821. The artwork depicts two plums, one with a slight cut on its surface, rendered in a realistic manner. The artist's signature appears in the bottom right corner. This still-life is a testament to Brandt's talent for capturing the essence of everyday objects, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and mastery of color. The painting captures the vibrancy and fleshy texture of the fruit, showcasing the artist's skill in watercolor painting. Brandt, unfortunately, died young in 1821, leaving behind a limited but impactful body of work.
