The fruits are accompanied by a glass bowl with water, to clean them before eating. The blue background contrasts with the intense red of the cherries. Present in this background is a central point of light, which adds atmosphere to the composition, somewhat theatrical. This artist was widely known in valladolid, the city where he settled and developed his professional career. His artistic production was centered on portraits, landscapes and still lifes, always with a personal realism, fleeing from the abstract avant-garde prevailing in the city. Capitaine does not paint reality as it is, but gives room to the imagined. This can be seen in his still lifes, where sometimes the objects do not rest comfortably on their corresponding support plane, or even invade the space of another bordering object. Liberties that the artist takes in order to express something more than mere reality.
