Vanitas - Still-Life with crystal ball

The still-life is arranged on a wooden surface with a green drape, featuring a skull on the right, an open book, and a dark glass vessel behind it. A reflective black crystal ball lies in the left foreground, with a gilded ornate object resting across the book and small shells scattered along the edge. The palette is muted browns, greens, and blacks, and the light creates strong contrasts and polished highlights on the glass, metal, and bone, fitting the vanitas tradition.
