About the artwork

This artwork shows a still life of a Japanese or Oriental dining table, painted in watercolour
style. On the table are several bowls with rice, vegetables, fruit and drinks. The foreground shows three small bowls: one with rice and herbs, one with slices of cucumber, and one with tangerines and red fruits. In the background are a bottle, a glass jar and a cup of hot drink. Wooden chopsticks rest diagonally across the edge of the table.

The style is loose and painterly, with flowing brushstrokes and subtle colour gradients. Watercolour has been used, making the image feel transparent and light. The shapes are recognisable but not tightly defined; contours flow into each other. This creates a soft, dreamy atmosphere. The composition is simple and balanced, with attention to light and shadow.

The colour palette consists of earthy tones of brown, beige and ochre, combined with warm accents of red, orange and green. Soft greys and olive colours add calmness, while the pink of drink and green of cucumber add freshness. The shadows are deep but not heavy, adding depth without weighing down the image.

This work exudes calmness and homeliness. It captures the moment before a meal, a quiet moment of attention. The combination of watercolour and Asian scene makes it timeless and poetic. Perfect for those who love simplicity, craft and serenity in the home.
