Pomegranates Majorca 1908 - John Singer Sargent Signature Poster

The painting "Pomegranates Majorca 1908" is a close-up view of a branch of a pomegranate tree laden with fruit. The branch fills most of the canvas, and the background is a blur of green leaves. The main focus is on the ripe pomegranates. Their round shapes dominate the foreground, and their skins are a variety of reds, with yellows and highlights of white showing through in the sun. Shadows are cast by the overlapping fruit, and there’s a hint of brown at the stem where they’re attached to the branch. Several of the pomegranates have begun to split open, revealing the juicy red arils inside.
