Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “Autumn Still Life with Pumpkins” is a lyrical ode to autumn, captured in a still life using pumpkins, apples, and autumn foliage. The artist uses a soft color palette and textured strokes to convey the warmth, coziness, and quiet sadness characteristic of the autumn season.

At the center of attention of the painting is a composition of two small pumpkins and two apples, located on a table or some other surface covered with fabric. The artist chooses simple, unassuming objects to emphasize their natural beauty and modest charm.

The pumpkins are executed in bright orange tones, symbolizing the sun, warmth, and energy. Their rounded shapes create a feeling of volume and fullness, and the rough surface adds an element of realism to the composition. The pumpkins look ripe and juicy, as if they have just been picked from the garden.

The apples, located next to the pumpkins, are depicted in muted red and yellow tones. Their smooth and shiny surface contrasts with the more rough pumpkins, creating a sense of diversity and harmony. The apples, like the pumpkins, look appetizing and tempting, as if inviting you to taste their sweet flavor.

The autumn leaves, located around the pumpkins and apples, add a touch of melancholy to the composition and remind us of the transience of time. The leaves are made in various shades of red, yellow, and brown, which creates a feeling of richness and diversity of the autumn palette. Their carved shapes and elegant lines add an element of grace and sophistication to the still life.

The fabric covering the table is executed in muted light tones. It seems to envelop the objects, creating a feeling of warmth and coziness. The fabric also serves as a background for the composition, emphasizing the beauty and harmony of the objects.

The background of the painting is executed in blurred dark tones. It does not contain any specific details, which allows the pumpkins, apples, and leaves to be the main focus of the still life. The background creates a sense of depth and volume and emphasizes the brightness and saturation of the colors in the foreground.

The artist uses the technique of Impressionism, focusing on conveying the overall impression of what is seen, rather than on the detailed rendering of each object. Broad, free strokes create a sense of movement and liveliness, as if the leaves are swaying in the wind, and the sun’s rays are warming the fruits with their heat.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of quiet autumn sadness, peace, and harmony with nature. The painting seems to invite the viewer to pause for a moment and enjoy the beauty of the departing summer, feel the coolness of the autumn air, and reflect on the eternal cycle of life and rebirth. This canvas is about the beauty, modest charm, and wisdom of Russian nature. It reminds us that even in the period of fading, there is its own beauty and its own special charm, and that one must be able to appreciate every moment of life.

The title of the painting, “Autumn Still Life with Pumpkins,” indicates the main theme and symbolism of the canvas. The pumpkin, as one of the main symbols of autumn, is associated with the harvest, abundance, and gratitude for the gifts of nature. Apples, on the other hand, symbolize wisdom, knowledge, and temptation. The painting seems to say that autumn is not only a time of fading but also a time of wisdom, reflection, and summing up.
