Nature morte, Pichet et Oignons 1890

"Nature morte, Pichet et Oignons" (Still Life, Jug and Onions), painted in 1890 by Dutch artist Meijer de Haan, showcases the artist's mastery of still life. The composition features a white ceramic jug with blue accents partially obscured by four large onions, their red-brown hues contrasted by the soft, cool colors of the jug. The artist employs a muted palette, highlighting the textures of the objects and creating a sense of depth. This intimate portrayal of everyday objects exemplifies the enduring appeal of the still life genre.
