My wife has bought packed mangoes at low price today —this is one of them. She said she had thought these mangoes might be bruised but they were good as a painting subject then she bought them. Yes, she was right. Bruised fruits are allegorical. I used the black paper to produce Baroque-like effect and sketched the wrapping paper with the mango to show that this is left unsold. Sketched on the 8th of May, 2009.
Now, I have changed the way of uploading the images in this weblog from this entry. You may see the larger image by clicking the thumbnail shown above.
