Still Life with Crab Apples and Grapes

Joseph Decker

National Gallery of Art

This painting displays an arrangement of green grapes and yellow-red apples, with a few apples showing dark blemishes and one apple sliced open to reveal its off-white inside. The fruits are centrally placed, with grapes clustered in the background and the apples spread around the center and the lower part of the composition, and they sit on a dark surface that reflects some of the fruit. The color palette predominantly features deep reds, yellows, and muted greens against the black background.
