There is a delicate balance of color that captures our attention and prompts our eyes to move around the composition, bringing a sense of life and movement to the piece. This sense of life and movement is further emphasized by the amazing textural quality found throughout the work, which is achieve through the aquatint technique. Created c.1955, this color aquatint was printed on watermarked BFK Rives wove paper. Printed and published by Atelier Crommelynck, Paris, this work is signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right, and contains the Cormmelynck blindstamp. Numbered 234/300 in the lower left, this work has an extensive amount of thick ink texture throughout the image. Depicting the still life with a rich array of pastel pinks, blues, greens, yellows, and oranges, this work also contains bold dark blacks, reds, and greens. The chromatic brilliance is heightened through the use of thick painterly ink texture throughout the image. Illustrating the pitcher in a cubist manner, the lights and shadows are separated with distinct shift in color and tone. Balancing the image, a bright yellow lemon with the branch still attached, sits next to a delicate round orange. The bright white on blue of the background makes the darks of the images stand out in sharp contrast, creating a sense of depth and volume to the piece.
