Herfststilleven met pompoenen (Autumn Still Life with Pumpkins)

A full autumn spread, pampas plumes and a hydrangea rising behind pumpkins in orange and dusty blue, with purple and green grapes spilling among apples, pears, peaches and a pale nautilus shell. The heaped abundance recalls the old pronkstilleven, the display piece built to dazzle. Every husk, grape bloom and pearly surface gets its own touch, a small harvest of textures.
