About the Item

Work on canvas Still life at tea time This captivating still life presents a harmonious arrangement of everyday objects on a wooden table. To the left, a finely detailed glass carafe catches the light, adding transparency and sparkle to the composition. In the center, an imposing silver teapot is surrounded by a porcelain cup, carefully placed on a saucer. A small glass accompanies the scene, creating a subtle balance. To the right, a generous portion of cake rests on a ceramic plate, alongside sugar cubes carefully stacked in a delicate sugar bowl. A carefully folded yellow napkin adds a touch of softness and color. The work is distinguished by its play of light and shadow, revealing the texture and materiality of each element. The eye is guided by dynamic lines and shapes, testifying to the artist's technical skill and talent.
