Agrasot was not a still life painter; In fact, there are very few of us who know him, among other reasons because and since the Baroque, professional painters used to specialize in a theme, whether religious, commemorative, portraits and, to a lesser extent, landscapes and still lifes that were barely or less valued until the 19th century. Therefore, and as can be demonstrated in Agrasot's generation, whether its authors worked in Spain, Italy or Paris, no signature author used to enter the specialty of any other; Even dealers and gallery owners had them classified by a certain dominated theme. Which does not prevent Agrasot, also a professor in San Carlos as well as in his own private academy, from wanting to demonstrate his credit in any pictorial matter, and with it, his proven erudition and handling, when undertaking with brushes on canvas in the always arduous fruity resolution (essentially in the tones) that, although and even though it is one of the subjects first learned at the studio easel, reflects the artist's encounter with nature. An imitation that, precisely for this reason, does not cease to be a complicated and difficult skill when it is resolved with the confidence and precision that each fruit requires in the chromaticism of a still life, immediately revealing whether we are dealing with an apprentice or a professional of the Art of Geometry. in color and shading.
