A still life painting by Suzanne Valadon, featuring a glass bowl of fruit and a vase of roses on a wooden table. The work is characterised by its directness, simplicity, and bold use of colour.

Suzanne Valadon, born Marie-Clémentine Valadon, was a French painter and artist's model. She is recognised for her independent spirit and unconventional approach to art. Valadon's work often explored themes of female experience and the human form, and she was known for her bold use of colour and expressive brushwork. Her career began as an artist's model, posing for artists such as Renoir, Degas, and Toulouse-Lautrec. She later pursued her own artistic career, encouraged by Degas. This still life painting presents a collection of fruit and flowers arranged on a wooden table. A glass bowl filled with grapes, lemons, and apples sits to the left, while a white vase holding pink and white roses is positioned to the right. The background features a patterned yellow wall and a glimpse of a dark, ornate chair. A patterned cloth drapes over the edge of the table, adding another layer of visual interest. The composition is characterised by its directness and simplicity, with a focus on the textures and colours of the objects.
