Fanny Brate — Apples, Currants and a Copper Pitcher

This is summer counted out in fruit: a wicker basket of yellow, green, and red apples anchors the composition, while red and black currants spill across a glass plate beside it. A copper pitcher catches the light behind them, and leafy branches heavy with small berries crowd the upper corners, as if the still life had spilled out of the garden it came from.

Fanny Brate painted her kitchen tables the way other artists painted portraits — with full attention. Pair it with a note about a harvest, a market, or a meal worth remembering.
