Eine leuchtend gelbe Quitte mit gezeichnetem Blattwerk, präzisem Seitenlicht und ausgeprägter räumlicher Präsenz.

In Quitte MUS-04, a luminous yellow quince appears beneath a widely branching structure of leaves and stems. Its clearly cast shadow gives the fruit strong physical weight.

Fresh green areas sit beside holes, dark stains and discolouration. These traces are not concealed as flaws; together with marks on the skin, they become essential features of this individual subject.

Painted in 2025 in egg tempera on a traditional chalk ground over a wooden panel, the work transforms the classical still life into a contemporary portrait.
