Stilleven met aardbeientaart (Still Life with a Strawberry Tart)

A teal speckled enamel coffee pot rises behind two slices of strawberry cream cake crowned with whipped cream, with biscuits and a silver dish of cookies alongside. Sponge, cream, glazed berry and cool enamel each get a different touch, the lace-trimmed cloth tying it together. A breakfast piece moved to the coffee table, and a real test of surfaces.
