About this work

A table is set for a meal with polished silver teapots, plates, and bowls. A glass cloche covers a dish of greens, and a vase holds flowers. The light hits the table from the side, casting shadows on the white tablecloth. In the background, a window lets in more light, and a mirror reflects a dim room. The brushstrokes are thick, almost textured, giving the painting a lively feel. The artist seems to focus on everyday objects, making them look almost real. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works.
