WHY IT’S INTERESTING
Commonly thought to be vegetables, eggplants are technically berries.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as oil on canvas and credits Preston Dickinson (American, 1891–1930).
The museum's collection notes: Preston Dickinson’s composition presents a seemingly casual arrangement of eggplants and lemons amid a tabletop setting with a bowl, knife, and napkins. A loosely corked bottled beverage stands at left, and a lightly sketched chairback occupies an otherwise empty background.
