House outside Marion, Alabama, 1964, William Christenberry, chromogenic print

This painting represents a basket of fruit sitting on a marble tabletop. Within the basket are grapes with grape leaves and vines, apples, peaches, an orange, and a pear. Spilling from the basket onto the tabletop are grapes, peaches, plums, apples, oranges, and a piece of cut watermelon. Amid the tabletop fruit is a bird’s nest containing three eggs. There is also a silver plate on the tabletop, and on the silver plate are a filled champagne flute and a peeled lemon, as well as grapes, apples, peaches, a plum, and two currants. The artist has signed the painting “Roesen” in the lower right corner by extending a grape vine.
