Renoir increasingly rendered still lifes beginning in the early 1880s; the motif would further flourish as Renoir found financial success, freeing him from the dependency of client commissions so he could paint as he wished. With feathery brushwork and a vibrant palette, he would transform commonplace items into objects of beauty, redefining the age-old genre with his mastery of Impressionist technique. He once told Albert André that it was in these small works with their informal compositions that "he put the whole of himself, that he took every risk". Nature morte, which depicts a vibrant arrangement of fruits over a rippling cloth, exemplifies the artist’s profound skill at capturing the voluptuous volume of objects.
