is an still life oil painting by French artist Paul Cézanne, created around 1893. Renowned for its innovative approach, Cézanne distorts objects to present multiple perspectives, challenging naturalistic representation. This technique influenced movements such as Fauvism and Cubism, transforming modern art. The painting's rich hues and textured application evoke the qualities of terracotta sculpture, emphasizing form and structure. It belongs to the Helen Birch Bartlett Memorial Collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifying Cézanne's role as a pioneer in redefining oil painting.
