About this print
Nothing else is on the sheet: one round grapefruit, Citrus paradisi, painted in dense mottled greens with a stub of stem, and a great expanse of cream paper around it. The restraint is what makes it feel contemporary; hung today it reads closer to a modern still life than a government record. It comes from the US Department of Agriculture's pomological watercolour programme, which between 1886 and 1942 set artists to documenting fruit varieties in faithful watercolour, and like a number of plates in the collection it carries no artist's name. The sheet is preserved in the USDA National Agricultural Library, now in the public domain. It suits a kitchen, a bathroom, or any room that likes its art quiet. Printed to order at gallery scale in its own fixed palette.
