Rode uien bij koffiepot (Red Onions beside a Coffee Pot)

A grey speckled enamel coffee pot and a bowl of red onions, with more spilling onto a cutwork lace cloth on a wooden crate. The papery purple skins and the cool mottled enamel make a fine contrast of surfaces. The cutwork lace, where the holes themselves form the pattern, is a painter's showpiece.
