| Description |  |
This painting date from Cézanne's mature, most influential phase, during which he sought to, as he said, "make of Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of museums". The work's gridlike composition, tight integration of objects, and controlled brushwork convey a powerful sense of solidity. Three-dimensional forms, each rendered from different points of view, are bound together in the flat surface if the picture; an apple, for example, is captured by an arabesque escaping from the blue cloth.
