Credit LineBequest of Margaret Watson ParkerSubject matterJapanese blueberries are the object of attention in this painting. Fruit paintings can be seen as a symbol of transcience and ephemerality that can be translated to human life.
Physical DescriptionThis panel painting is framed in a thick gold that has a cloud design. Closest to the painted paper is a thin frame of gold. The painting depicts what appears to be a Japanese blueberry branch. The panel is badly damaged. It is similar in style to 1955/1.97.
