Brief Description
Vase of white and cream roses, yellow-green pear, and green grapes on a dark surface
Detailed Description
A still life arrangement rests on a dark, muted background. On the left, a clear glass vase with a stemmed base holds a bouquet of white and cream-colored roses. The roses are full and appear to be in various stages of bloom, with some showing hints of pink or yellow in their centers. Green leaves are visible among the blossoms and within the vase. The vase itself has a textured or faceted surface, reflecting some light. To the right of the vase, a large, yellow-green pear stands upright on the table. It has a reddish blush on one side and a small dark stem at the top. In front of the pear and slightly to its left, a cluster of green grapes rests on the table. The grapes vary in shade from light green to a deeper, slightly purplish-green, and some appear to have a light bloom on their surface. The objects are arranged on a dark reddish-brown wooden table surface, which occupies the lower third of the image. The background behind the objects is a dark, almost black, brown. Faint, dark script is visible in the upper right corner: "Fantin. 1883".
