"Still Life. Oranges and Crumpled Paper" is a 1946 oil painting by Russian artist Pyotr Konchalovsky, known for his still life and portrait work. The piece depicts a simple arrangement of oranges and lemons on a green tablecloth, with crumpled paper and a silver candlestick visible in the background. The artist utilizes a bold, expressive style, capturing the textures and light play with broad strokes and vivid colors. The composition is dynamic, with the fruits arranged in a loose, asymmetrical cluster, reflecting Konchalovsky's interest in capturing the everyday beauty of the ordinary. The painting is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia.
