Stilleven met petroleumkan en glas (Still Life with an Oil Can and Glass)

A white enamel petroleum can lettered Petrol 1L stands beside a slender wine glass on a brass stem, with a folded napkin and a pince-nez at its base, all on a pale wooden box. The painted lettering recalls the old cartellino, the trompe-l'oeil slip of paper in early still lifes. Clear glass, glazed enamel and cool brass, three surfaces against a quiet green.
