About this work

The painting features a window frame with a cityscape in the background, showcasing a blue sky with white clouds. In the foreground, a wheat bundle is tied to the window frame with a red ribbon, accompanied by a silver ribbon hanging from the top. Various objects are scattered on the windowsill, including a hammer, a red container, and stones. A subtle detail is the presence of a shadow cast by the wheat bundle on the window frame, adding depth to the composition. To explore more works by the artist, check out Pierre Roy.
