DescriptionA still life painting, in brown, red, and orange tones. One aspect of the painting in the bottom right corner incorporates a vibrant blue plate, with a shadowy fruit on it. The background of the painting is dark brown, with lines going across. There is a face of a figure, with dark hair, and rounded lines around the head that gives the appearance of a hat. The figure has big eyes closer the sides of the face, left eye is higher than the right, and the lips are in a pouting formation. There is a table in front of the figure, with two vases on top of it. One that is tall and narrow holding one single flower with a long stem, on the left side near the foreground. Then the other, on the right side closer to the figure, is shorter and rounder, holding a small bundle of flowers. On the left side of the table near the center is a small basket-like cube, standing in front of a candle-holder.
