Two Plums

George Brookshaw

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two large fruits hanging from separate branches. The top fruit is round, orange with green leaves, while the bottom fruit is round and purple with green leaves. The color palette includes mainly earthy tones, with bright orange, rich purple, and green hues set against a pale, speckled background. The orange fruit is at the upper center, and the purple fruit is positioned below it towards the lower center, both hanging from branches extending slightly toward the composition's center.
