The painting shows a vase with tulips and some fruit on a table. The table is interesting because it appears in several of Cezanne's other paintings. Scholars don't agree where this table was, but we can see the artist changed his mind about the arrangement. The artist tried different fruits, like oranges, before settling on this version. You can look up the technique of impasto to learn more about how Cezanne worked.
