Quitte MUS-06, Egg tempera on chalk ground/wooden panel, 2025, von Diethard Sohn

Ein eindringliches Quittenporträt, in dem eine dunkle, gezeichnete Oberfläche Wachstum, Alterung und Vergänglichkeit sichtbar macht.

In Quitte MUS-06, the advanced transformation of a quince becomes the central subject. The dark brown-violet fruit is covered with pale, relief-like traces, surrounded by green, yellowing and already brown leaves.

Vital leaf colours and the altered skin condense growth and decay into a single image. Ageing is observed without embellishment or drama and receives the same precision as form, light and colour.

Painted in 2025 in egg tempera on a traditional chalk ground over a wooden panel. Individuality appears precisely through damage, change and transience.
