Original artwork description
This pastel painting depicts a still life composition with two bulbous glass vessels in the center—one filled with a golden-brown liquid, the other with a vibrant green liquid, likely absinthe. To the left, a glass bowl holds several yellow lemons, while to the right, an orange and a sliced half-orange lie next to two small red berries. The arrangement is placed on a reddish-brown wooden block, set against a deep black background, creating a strong contrast that highlights the rich colors and textures of the objects.
Absinthe ( in French also called "La Fée Verte") is a high-alcoholic beverage made from herbs such as wormwood, anise and fennel. It became particularly popular in France in the 19th and early 20th centuries and gained a reputation for enhancing creativity and expanding minds. Many artists and writers such as Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde were known to drink absinthe. They saw it as a source of inspiration, although it was also controversial due to its alleged addictive and intoxicating potential.
