The picture is divided into three vertical sections. The left end is entirely dedicated to the representation of a vase of colorful flowers that captures the observer's attention and stands out from the shadowy shades of the rest of the composition
In the central part of the picture we find in the foreground a composition of fruit portrayed with great mastery of detail and great immediacy. Looking up a little we find the painted statue, presumably in bronze, of a lion with open jaws. On the far right, in total darkness, bowls and what appears to be a candle stand out.
The painting is signed lower right. The signature was not decrypted.
The painting, in excellent condition, has a tensioning on the back and is sold including a lacquered softwood fillet frame.
On the back there is some writing in pencil.
The overall dimensions of the painting including the frame are 152x102x3.5 cm. less
