Eine grüne, reifende Quitte unter ausladendem Blattwerk, gemalt in differenzierten Schichten aus Eitempera.

Quitte MUS-05 presents a green quince that has not yet fully ripened, sheltered by several broad leaves. Its colour ranges from pale yellow-green and deep blue-green to earthy red-brown.

Rough pale patches and darker changes on the skin make the process of ripening visible. The work records a moment of transformation rather than an ideal final state.

Painted in 2025 in egg tempera on a traditional chalk ground over a wooden panel.
