Paul Cézanne was famously meticulous about his still life compositions, sometimes taking hundreds of sittings to complete a painting. He would even use props like coins to ensure his fruits wouldn't roll, allowing him to rigorously study their forms and volumes, a practice that heavily influenced the development of Cubism.
