This painting shows a still life with a plate of fruitcake, an apple, and a peeled orange. There's also a wine glass and a bottle. The objects are on a table with a red patterned tablecloth. The artist used a technique called chiaroscuro to create strong contrasts between light and dark. This makes the objects stand out against the dark background. If you like this style, check out the work of William Harnett.
