Artwork description
Claude Monet · circa 1866 · still life of youth
A large jar of preserved fruit, four fresh peaches and a plate of veined marble: before the impressionist landscapes, young Monet already measured light by the textures it transformed.

Look at the work
A jar filled with peaches is placed on a marble table next to four fresh fruits. The blue-green background remains almost empty in order to focus all attention on the glass, velvety skins, amber liquid and reflective surface.
The peaches in the jar appear yellower and more translucent than those placed on the table. Monet thus differentiates states of matter: fresh fruit, preserved fruit, amber liquid, transparent glass and cold stone. The dark signature closes the composition at the bottom right.
This still life not only tells what is placed on the table: it compares what light does to glass, fruit, liquid and marble.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

The large vertical shape occupies the left half. Its lid, reflections and superimposed peaches create a stable architecture above the agitated marble.
The outer fruits are matte, pink and slightly irregular. In the jar, the shapes become yellower and brighter under the effect of glass and liquid.
White veins and dark reflections do not describe water. They belong to a polished marble slab that multiplies the directions in the foreground.
Details and visual documents

Documented benchmarks
These facts concern this precise version and are verified from the notice of the institution which keeps it.
The Dresden collection preserves this still life under its German title Das Pfirsichglas. The jar constitutes the vertical axis of the entire composition.
Created around 1866, the painting belongs to the painter's early years, before the first impressionist exhibition in 1874.
The work is kept at the Galerie Neue Meister des Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, at the Albertinum, under number 2525 B.
