This painting, titled "Asetelma," features a still life composition. The scene is set against a backdrop of drapes, with a table at its center. On the table, a blue and white plate holds two lemons, accompanied by a glass and a dark bottle. To the left of the plate, a white cloth is draped, with a blue vase positioned behind it. A red object, possibly a book, is situated to the right of the vase. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central arrangement of objects. The artist's skillful application of light and shadow adds texture and visual interest to the composition.
