Still Life

On a dark, draped table, a tall glass vessel partially filled sits on an ornate metal stand, with a perforated silver plate leaning beside it and a small glass vessel in the background. In the foreground and to the right, citrus fruits—lemon halves and slices on one plate, a peeled fruit on another—are arranged with scattered rind and crumbs, and a knife lies nearby. The scene is lit from the left, producing bright highlights on metal and glass and a subdued palette of golds, browns, and yellows that emphasizes texture and stillness in a restrained Dutch still-life style.
