Heart

One peeled citrus fruit sits alone on a pale surface, its mottled red-and-white pith fully exposed, with a soft blue backdrop behind it. A small glistening patch of golden juice pools just beside the fruit, the only other element in the composition.

Vivid crimson-red dominates the fruit's surface, set sharply against the cool pale blue of the background, with strong light from the upper right producing crisp highlights and a soft shadow beneath. Brushwork is smooth and closely blended, concentrating all attention on color and form; the mood is intimate, vivid, and quietly intense.
