About this work

This painting presents a still life arrangement of everyday objects. A brown jar with a white rim is positioned on the left side, accompanied by a red apple and a walnut in front of it. To the right of the jar is a coconut. The objects are placed on a dark surface, which reflects the light, creating a subtle shine. The artist has employed a range of earthy tones, including browns, reds, and tans, to depict the objects. The overall effect is one of simplicity and quiet contemplation. The still life is reminiscent of the work of Edvard Munch.
