Books with Compote of Fruit
1929

A vibrant watercolor still life painting featuring a bowl of fruit, including grapes and a large red apple, on a draped fabric with a pattern of warm colors. Beside the fruit bowl, there are open books with visible text and illustrations, a green apple, and a small box on top of the books. The artist's signature is visible in the top left corner. The background suggests a tabletop against a neutral wall.
