Detailed Description
A still life painting depicts a collection of objects arranged on a dark wooden table against a dark, almost black background. In the center, a large, round, dark brown loaf of bread rests on a white cloth with fringed edges. To the left of the bread, a round, lidded red box with a blue ribbon draped over its side sits on the table. Behind the red box, a dark basket holds a pile of dark purple plums. To the right of the bread, a single white rose with green leaves stands upright. Below the rose, a cluster of three light orange-pink peaches is arranged. Further to the right, a bunch of green grapes and a knife with a dark handle and a silver blade are visible on the white cloth. The front edge of the dark wooden table features ornate, gold-colored carvings.
