In this striking pastel painting, the central focus is on two glass vessels placed on a turquoise surface. One vessel is empty, while the other is partly filled with water, each reflecting and refracting light in a way that enhances their transparency and delicacy. To the left, a twig adorned with a cluster of red berries and green leaves adds a touch of natural vibrancy. On the right, a white plate holds four oranges, their bright color contrasting against the cool tones of the ground.
In the foreground, a lemon and a row of red berries are carefully arranged, creating a balance of color and form. Dramatic lighting from above casts a soft glow across the scene, illuminating the turquoise ground and creating a stark contrast with the deep black background.
This composition masterfully plays with contrasts—light against dark, cool tones against warm hues, transparency against opacity—creating a dynamic and visually engaging still life. The light highlights the vibrant colors and textures, inviting the viewer to explore the interplay of objects and the subtle details that make up this carefully constructed scene.
