"Plate with Strawberries" is an oil painting that stands out for its understated elegance and detailed execution. In a square format, the central composition is dominated by a glass plate seen from a zenith perspective, containing strawberries. This elevated perspective allows the arrangement and texture of the fruits to be fully appreciated. A notable feature of the painting is the shadow cast to the right, which adds depth and a sense of three-dimensionality to the scene. The background, worked in highly nuanced white tones, creates a soft contrast that enhances the bright colors of the strawberries without distracting from the main subject. The transparency of the plate allows the tones of the background to filter through, adding an additional layer of visual complexity. The strawberries, with their carmine, yellow and red tones, are the chromatic focus of the work.
