Quinces on a Table

This remarkable still life by Mark Lijftogt depicts three quinces on a table. Though the composition is simple, Lijftogt has used intricately rendered brushstrokes to create an unmistakable sense of realism in this work. The neutral background also helps to bring attention to the fruits, allowing the subtle details of the imperfect quinces to stand out. Lijftogt’s work emphasizes natural beauty, texture and the quiet elegance of everyday objects.
