Inv.-no. MB-Ren-07
Pomegranates and figs are arranged decoratively on a white cloth. The contrast between the complementary colors red and green make them shine. The crowded pictorial space seems to pulse through the use of dynamic brushwork. Pierre-Auguste Renoir transferred the experiences of plein-air painting to all genres: nothing is certain, and everything is sensation.
