Natură statică is an unspecified by Henri Catargi, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This painting shows a simple table with a few objects. There’s a dark brown cello leaning against the tablecloth, its neck pointing upward. Next to it, a white bowl holds green apples, and a small plate has bright orange fruit.
