Brief Description
Painting of a potted plant with pink flowers and various fruits on a white cloth
Detailed Description
The painting depicts a potted plant and numerous fruits arranged on a draped white cloth, set against a blue-green wall. A large, dark green leafy plant with clusters of small, light pink flowers is positioned in a light-colored pot on the right side of the image. The pot sits on a wooden table or surface, which is mostly covered by a voluminous white cloth. This cloth is heavily folded and draped, forming deep creases and raised areas, and extends across the lower half of the painting. Scattered across the white cloth and the visible part of the wooden surface are many fruits, primarily apples and oranges. The apples are depicted in shades of red, yellow, and green, while the oranges are a vibrant, uniform orange. The fruits are clustered together, some appearing to roll off the cloth onto the unseen edge of the table. The background is a solid, textured blue-green wall, with darker blue-gray tones appearing in the upper right corner behind the plant, suggesting a corner or shadow. The overall lighting appears soft and even.
