Lemon & a Half is a striking limited edition artwork by celebrated British artist Sarah Eden, whose still life paintings are admired for their meticulous realism, atmospheric lighting, and ability to imbue everyday objects with quiet emotional resonance. Best known for her evocative wildlife and nature-inspired works, Eden brings the same level of sensitivity, observation, and technical control to her still life collection. With Lemon & a Half, she turns her attention to the simple beauty of citrus fruit, creating an artwork that feels both refined and intimately captivating.
This beautifully composed piece features one whole lemon alongside another sliced neatly in half, arranged on a wooden surface. Set against a deep, shadowed background, the lemons are illuminated by a single source of light that brings their vibrant colour and texture into sharp focus. The glossy skin of the whole lemon catches the light with subtle highlights, while the sliced half reveals a luminous interior-its delicate membranes, soft pulp, and glistening juice rendered with remarkable precision. The contrast between the dark backdrop and the sunlit lemons heightens the drama of the composition, drawing the eye immediately to the fruit and creating a stillness that feels both contemplative and quietly powerful.
Rendered as a limited edition giclée on canvas board, Lemon & a Half preserves all the depth, richness, and detail of Eden's original painting. The artwork is beautifully presented in a moulded dark beige-brown frame paired with a white-washed oak inner slip, a framing choice that enhances the warm yellow hues of the lemons while complementing the darker tones of the background. This considered presentation provides a timeless, gallery-ready finish that suits both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Measuring 20 x 20 cm (image size) and 35 x 35 cm when framed, Lemon & a Half is an intimate artwork that makes a striking impression. Produced as a limited edition of 95 copies, each piece is hand-signed and numbered by Sarah Eden and includes a certificate of authenticity. The giclée printing process on canvas board ensures exceptional colour accuracy, clarity, and longevity, faithfully capturing Eden's masterful approach to light, shadow, and texture.
Sarah Eden's still life works are celebrated for their ability to elevate familiar objects into visual meditations. In Lemon & a Half, the lemon becomes a study in contrast-brightness against darkness, simplicity against depth, and the interplay between texture and illumination. Eden's sensitive handling of the subject matter encourages the viewer to pause, absorb the detail, and appreciate the quiet elegance of the scene. This combination of technical mastery and subtle emotional resonance is what makes her work so appealing to collectors and admirers alike.
