Very Cezannesque, and appealing to the eye. One very tiny criticism: if the next time you do a still life after Cezanne, and I hope you do, turn one or more elements (like here, the dish and the fruit on it) slightly more off-plane so they are not exactly on the same plane as the other items, but are juuuuust slightly more as though the viewer were looking at just those items while standing on tiptoe. This was a technique Cezanne learned from some of the Japanese prints that were beginning to pour into Europe at that time. The ancient Egyptians used this technique also. For example, a woman lying on what we would call a chaise lounge, with a circle next to her. The circle was a plate of dates - her breakfast. If it had been drawn on the same plane as the woman, it would have been a line with some tiny bumps on it. The artist tilted it 90 degrees to show the viewer a birds-eye view of a plate covered with concentric rings of dates. In real life they would have all fallen off the plate, but in art, the viewer gets to see how wealthy she is. SHE can have that much fruit for breakfast, unlike her slaves.
