Still-Life

The still life shows a group of objects arranged along a dark tabletop, including a large green glass goblet, an ornate metal dish or charger, a small glass decanter, a plate with a halved citrus and a curling peel, and a loaf of bread on a white cloth. The composition runs from left to right, with the reflective metal and glass capturing light and casting deep shadows that give the arrangement a sense of depth, while grape leaves and vines provide a muted botanical backdrop. The palette is dominated by greens, golds, and earth tones, and the painting exhibits a highly detailed, naturalistic still-life style with careful attention to texture and surface reflections.
