This painting is a formal representation of its subject title, depicting a wooden table upon which are placed a large earthenware jug and a fruit bowl stacked with apples and oranges. To the left of the painting a curtain hangs in front of a patterned wall. A white cloth has been draped across the table with various fruits placed among its folds.
The painting is dominated by a depiction of a stemmed silver fruit bowl containing pears. A deliberately created optical illusion of the human face occupies the same space as the dish; the fruits suggest wavy hair, the dish's bowl becomes the forehead, the stem of the dish serves as the bridge of the nose, and the dish's foot doubles as the chin.
Girl with a Platter of Fruit (German: Mädchen mit Fruchtschale), also known as Lavinia Holding a Charger Filled with Fruit, Lavinia as Flora, and Pomona, is an oil painting by the Venetian painter Titian, made in about 1555–1558, and currently in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie, in Berlin.
On the cloth is a sugar bowl and a plate on which four fruit have been placed. On an uncovered section of the table, to the right of the painting, rests a teapot, knife and a further two fruit. [ 1 ] The strong colours of the vessels, fruit and cloth are set against a washed-out green-grey background.
The Fruit Bowl is an early 20th century drawing by Juan Gris. The work was produced as part of a collaboration between Gris and Pierre Reverdy to commission a book filled with lithographs made from the former's paintings. The project was interrupted by the onset of World War I in 1914 and never finished.
