Fruit Displayed on a Stand — Caillebotte | Postcard Zolota Ptakha

Painted around 1881–82 and now at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, this still life takes the high market-stall vantage of a passing buyer rather than the table of an interior. Caillebotte's tilted picture plane — half Japanese print, half Parisian market — makes the card a small lesson in modern composition, fit for foodie collectors, art-history students and friends who keep a stack of well-curated mail.
