About this work

This is an empty wooden frame with a blank white canvas inside. The frame looks worn, with metal brackets holding it together and a loose rope tied in a knot at the top. Numbers are scribbled on the back in pencil and blue ink. The title means "Static nature with a lemon squeezer"—so this painting likely showed a lemon squeezer and other simple objects before the canvas was left bare. The rope might have been used to hang the painting during work. Look up still life to see how artists use everyday objects to tell quiet stories.
