DescriptionStill life, tangerines in tissue with grapes, reflecting off of mahogany table top. At first glance, one doesn't pay much attention to whether the round, yellowish fruit in Williams's still lifes represent oranges or tangerines, but at the time of painting, it made a great difference to William and was often referenced in the title of the work when exhibited. Some of his original titles read: Florida Oranges, Catania Oranges, Mandarin Oranges, Pineapple Oranges, and Tangerine Oranges, to name a few.
