Two Pears on a Tabletop

Sanford Robinson Gifford

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows two large pears on a white tablecloth. The pear on the left is a pinkish color and sits directly on the cloth. The pear on the right is yellow, and it rests on a white plate next to a small knife. Behind the pears are two clear glasses filled with a yellowish liquid, and behind those are a dark wine bottle. There is a letter on the table in the lower left corner with two stamps on it. The background is dark brown.
