Fruit and Wine Glass

About this work

This painting depicts a still life of fruit and a wine glass. The arrangement includes a bunch of grapes, three peaches, and a glass goblet on a table covered with a red cloth. A snail and a butterfly are also present in the scene. The grapes are dark purple, while the peaches have a light orange hue. The wine glass reflects the light, and the red cloth drapes elegantly over the table. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet elegance.
