A still life of autumnal tones very much influenced by the traditional Dutch still life Masters. A mix of blacks, purples, greens and reds from the fruit, wine, grapes and the melanistic pheasants. Wine, grapes, figs and apples all have symbolism associated with them in Dutch art - from fertility to transition and temptation; while pheasants feature in Japanese art as symbols of imperial elegance.
