We missed National Pumpkin Day on Tuesday, but we certainly didn’t want to forget about pumpkins or this beautiful still life painting by Paula Modersohn-Becker.

German painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) is recognized as one of the most important representatives of early expressionism, as well as the first known female painter to paint a nude self-portrait. She died young at the age of 31 from a postpartum embolism and left behind numerous ground-breaking works.

Along with self-portraits and portraits of children, she made still life paintings. In this still life, Modersohn-Becker sliced a pumpkin to show the inside with most of the seeds removed to draw viewers’ eyes into the hollowed-out space.

Image description: Still life of apples and a pumpkin on the table with a tablecloth. A slice of pumpkin on the right foreground. The rest of the pumpkin is placed behind, showing the inside of the pumpkin. A bowl of apples sits next to the pumpkin and four more apples are placed in front of the bowl.
