"Still Life with a Basket of Prunes" (1866) is a notable painting by the French realist artist François Bonvin (1817–1887). Known for his meticulous still lifes and genre scenes, Bonvin was a contemporary of Gustave Courbet and Jean-François Millet, and like them, he focused on depicting the beauty and dignity of everyday objects and ordinary life.

The painting "Still Life with a Basket of Prunes" exemplifies Bonvin's dedication to realism and his skill in rendering textures and surfaces with great detail and subtlety. Measuring 38 x 55 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas. It features a simple, yet elegantly composed arrangement of ripe prunes in a woven basket, set against a dark, neutral background that serves to highlight the rich colors and delicate forms of the fruit.

Bonvin's approach to still life was influenced by the Dutch and Flemish masters of the 17th century, whose works he studied and admired. In "Still Life with a Basket of Prunes," he demonstrates a similar attention to the play of light and shadow, as well as a fascination with the tactile qualities of the objects depicted. The painting's composition is balanced and harmonious, with the basket of prunes occupying the central focus, inviting the viewer to contemplate the simple yet profound beauty found in everyday items.

The work is a testament to Bonvin's reputation as a master of still life, and it contributes to the understanding of mid-19th-century French painting, a period marked by a growing interest in realism and the depiction of the mundane as a subject worthy of artistic exploration. "Still Life with a Basket of Prunes" is not only a celebration of the genre but also a reflection of the artist's quiet and introspective nature.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts for its technical excellence and its place within the broader context of the Realist movement in art.
