Built on striking colour compositions, the painting creates strong contrasts between dark red, dark blue, and dark brown. In addition, the artist has paid close attention to the water in the vase and to the patterns of colour woven in tight brushwork on the surface of the table. In this way, there is even something instructive about the painting, as the artist demonstrates transitions and contrasts that work in any case, without taking excessive risks. Bright and lush, the painting is decorative and designed to bring interiors to life.
