Stilleven met poppenkoppen (Still Life with Doll Heads)

Two carved doll-heads with stamped little faces lean among a striped feather, dried twigs, a black-stemmed wine glass and a white ceramic creature in red spectacles, a snail at its side. It is the Surrealist tabletop instinct, ordinary brocante gathered until the objects seem to watch you back. Painted with fijnschilder patience, it looks like a shelf and behaves like a dream.
