The Basket of Fruit

Pierre Bonnard's The Basket of Fruit, a 1922 painting, depicts a wicker basket brimming with yellow pears. The basket rests on a dark surface, possibly a table, partially covered by a light-colored cloth with a subtle pattern. Beside the basket are a reddish-brown fruit (possibly an apple or pomegranate) and a yellowish apple. The background is softly rendered with light washes of color, suggesting a wall or other surface. The style is characteristic of Bonnard's Post-Impressionist approach, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on color and light rather than precise detail. The painting's dimensions are not provided in the metadata. The artwork is in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum.
