A commonplace collection of figs is transformed into a vision of restful beauty in this cotemporary still life watercolour. Carefully positioned on the ledge, the figs huddle together with one of their party cut open revealing a certain vulnerability and delicacy. The dark tones provide a power and force to the painting with the purple shades creating an almost ecclesiastical drama.
