About this work

In this painting, a soup tureen and an apple are arranged on a dark wooden table. The tureen is white with blue floral designs, and the apple is yellow-green. A glass jar stands to the left of the tureen. The background is a light-colored wall. The arrangement of the objects is simple, with the tureen and apple placed in the center of the composition. The use of a dark table and a light-colored wall creates a sense of contrast. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this still life, look up Berthe Morisot.
