The composition features two peaches, a single plum, and a cluster of hazelnuts, arranged against a clean, neutral background. Van de Kasteele demonstrates a technical command of her medium, using soft washes to build the volume of the fruit and subtle shading to define their rounded forms. The inclusion of a small fly, positioned near the plum, acts as a nod to the long-standing tradition of Dutch still life painting, where such details often introduced a sense of realism or a memento mori element to the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in The Hague, Van de Kasteele was a member of a family of artists and was known for her botanical and still life subjects. Her approach here is restrained, focusing on the textures of the peach skin, the fibrous husks of the hazelnuts, and the smooth surface of the plum. The lighting is consistent, casting soft shadows that ground the objects on the page. The work is framed by a simple hand-drawn border, typical of the period's presentation for botanical and natural history studies. This print captures the quiet observation inherent in her practice, offering a clear view of the artist's attention to natural detail. It is an example of nineteenth-century Dutch watercolour technique, where the clarity of the subject takes precedence over atmospheric effects. The work remains a study in observation, documenting the physical characteristics of the specimens with accuracy and a measured hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/de-grasprinses-aan-een-tafel-met-insecten-edzard-koning\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDe Grasprinses aan een tafel met insecten - Edzard Koning — Edzard Koning\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/de-zaaier-naar-millet-matthijs-maris\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDe zaaier, naar Millet - Matthijs Maris — Matthijs Maris\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elisabeth Geertruida van de Kasteele","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58697479717199,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58697734783311,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58697734816079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58697734848847,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58697734881615,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58697734914383,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58697734947151,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58697734979919,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58697735012687,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58697735045455,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58697735078223,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58697735110991,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Perziken-noten-een-pruim-en-een-vlieg_Poster_CompositorV1_1788768842713.jpg?v=1788770232","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/perziken-noten-een-pruim-en-een-vlieg-elisabeth-geertruida-van-de-kasteele","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
