Staldeur met Coca-Cola kratje (Stable Door with a Coca-Cola Crate)

A flat wall of pale weathered boards, hatches hung with a yellow and a red cloth, a wicket door and a paned window, a faded Coca-Cola crate and a MAGASIN label nailed among the planks. The painted lettering works like the old cartellino, the trompe-l'oeil slip of paper, while leaf-shadow drifts across the grey wood. Humble carpentry given the patience of a still life, down to the rust streaks and the white enamel bucket below.
