Et frugtstykke 1837

"Et frugtstykke" (Fruit Piece) is an oil painting by Danish artist Hanne Hellesen, created in 1837. The painting is a still life depicting a pineapple plant with its fruit, along with grapes, a peach and white currants, in a wicker basket on a marble table. The fruit is rendered in great detail and the dark background emphasizes the natural light that falls on the objects, characteristic of still life paintings from the 19th century. The artwork is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
