Purple Plums, Carducius Plantagenet Ream
Purple Plums, 1895

Carducius Plantagenet Ream

1838–1917 · Realism · 1 work

Carducius Plantagenet Ream’s Purple Plums invites attention to a small group of fruit. Their skins, stems and shifting colors offer different surfaces to compare. Move from the overall arrangement to the reflected light and shadows, and notice how a familiar subject becomes a study of volume and texture.
