Still life and landscape painting dominated Peploe?s artistic output in his later years. By 1920 he had abandoned the impressionistic brushwork of his early years for a much tighter handling, which owes much to Cezanne. At the same time he brought an almost geometric structure to his compositions and introduced bright, acidic colours. He generally painted the same motifs - flowers, fruit, fans and crockery - arranged in different combinations so that the same items reappear in many paintings.
