Mound of Butter Oil on canvas, 50.2 x 61 cm, by Antoine Vollon, 1875/1885 National Gallery of Art, Washington DC |
||||||||||
| Broad and assertive brushwork gives the creamy mound of butter a vivid presence as it catches the light, its thick ridges shaped by a broad knife and set against the dark background. Eggs rest on the soft cloth below, offering a clear contrast in texture and weight. An ordinary kitchen object becomes something almost monumental without losing its everyday character. |
