Detailed Description
This still life painting depicts a collection of objects arranged on a white tablecloth against a patterned wall. The background features vertical stripes of light beige and pale blue, adorned with a repeating floral motif of small reddish-orange flowers and green stems. Dominating the center is a tall, light blue ceramic vase with a narrow neck and a wider body. Its upper portion is decorated with colorful ribbons in red, blue, and yellow, while a small bouquet of yellow and red flowers is painted on its mid-section. The base of the vase has a band of vertical blue stripes. In front and slightly to the right of the vase, a shallow white bowl with a light blue rim holds four round apples. These apples are primarily red with patches of yellow and hints of green. To the right of the bowl, a stemmed glass contains a dark red liquid. On the left side of the tablecloth, a knife with a light yellow handle and a dark blade rests horizontally. The tablecloth itself is white, showing some subtle folds and shadows.
