DiaporamaBasket of figs
The artwork, an oil on cardboard, is part of the works painted by Giovanni Segantini in his early years of activity and is characterized by an extreme compositional simplicity. The table is set up with a basket of figs placed in a pyramidal composition, while the front top, covered by a white tablecloth, contrasts with the dark background and highlights the shiny fruit skins. The leaves and the woven basket, both painted in shades of green, reflect their shadow on the table, as does the lemon depicted alone in the right corner, while the figs, brightened by refined touches of light, stand out in the center of the composition.
