Still Life with a Ming Bowl

The composition centers on a blue-and-white Ming bowl filled with fruit and a leafy branch, set on a dark tabletop alongside a dark glass goblet and a silver tray. A yellow lemon peel spirals across the foreground toward the bowl, while a richly patterned textile runs along the right edge of the scene, creating a diagonal balance. The colors are restrained yet luminous—deep blacks and browns, the blue of the porcelain, and warm fruit tones—rendered with meticulous finish in the Dutch Baroque pronkstilleven style.
