Quince Tart and Porcelain painting



Quince: the fruit of a central Asian tree (Cydonia oblonga) of the rose family that resembles a hard-fleshed yellow pear.Quinces are not eaten fresh because of their astringency (due to high tannin content). Because of its high pectin content, it's particularly popular for use in 
jams, jellies and preserves.
I painted this quince on a platter for a friend who's favorite fruit it is. The backside shows the flower.
