Still Life with a Stone Bowl with Pears

A dark-toned still life painting shows a cluster of green pears heaped in a pale, shallow bowl on a table. A few more pears and a single apple-like fruit lie loosely in the foreground against a shadowy background, with thick, visible brushwork in muted greens, browns and yellows.
