Title
Still Life on a Table
Description
In this still life, there are various objects placed on a brown table. Towards the left end of the table, we see a small container of ink standing next to a dip pen and a journal on the opposite end of the table. Towards the center, there is a cream-colored piece of cloth underlying an empty teacup and circular vase containing white calla lilies. Although pale as the wall beside it, the calla lilies are contrasted by the dark red curtains behind them. The cream walls are adorned by a framed portrait of a young lady smiling and a separate painting that has two nude figures.
