Kitchen interior

The kitchen interior is a dim, cluttered scene where everyday objects are arranged around a wooden shelf and a spinning wheel, with a pile of cloth, a plate propped against the back, and a melon rind and fruit in the foreground. The palette is earthy and restrained—browns, ochres, and blacks with pale highlights on textiles and metal to create tactile contrasts and depth. The composition uses overlapping forms and vertical and diagonal elements to convey an intimate Dutch Baroque still-life/genre scene, with painterly brushwork that is characteristic of Willem Kalf.
