Look at the work
Ten apples in a basket seen slightly from above
The basket forms a large inclined ellipse. The fruits overlap without symmetry: some show their peduncle, others an almost round face crossed by green and red.
The table and the back meet in a cream light streaked with pink and yellow. A blue shadow under the left edge of the basket responds to the purples of the wicker strands.
Painted in Paris in 1887, this oil on canvas measuring 46.7 × 55.3 cm is listed F379/JH1341. The Saint Louis Art Museum preserves it under number 43:1972 and exhibits it in gallery 218.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The museum highlights the balance between the red outlines of the apples, their green material and the blue-purple shadows that compensate for the dominant yellow.
01
Apples are never one color
Each fruit mixes green, yellow, orange and red touches. The colored contours separate them without creating a rigid black border.
02
The wicker is drawn by rhythm
Reds, pinks and purples follow the basket ellipse. The repeated lines describe both braided construction and depth.
03
The signature becomes an accent
"Vincent 87" is painted red in the lower left corner. Rare at Van Gogh, this signature matches the contours of the fruit and the basket.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The institutional notice gives the number of fruits, location, dimensions, signature and place of the work in Parisian still lifes.
Dedication
A painting given to Alexander Reid
The provenance begins with the Scottish art dealer Alexander Reid, Van Gogh's friend in Paris and first owner of the painting.
Signature
"Vincent 87" in red
Van Gogh signed few paintings. Here, his first name and year appear clearly in the lower left corner.
Museum
Gallery 218 in Saint Louis
Given by Sydney M. Shoenberg Sr., the painting has been in the museum since 1972 and has object number 43:1972.
The copy must retain the ten well-individualized fruits, the red-purple structure of the basket and the small multicolored touches of the light background.
