The artwork is characterized by its subtle and muted color palette, consisting primarily of dark and earthy tones. The composition presents a quiet and contemplative scene of everyday objects. Prominently featured are various kitchenware items, including a plate, a jug, and a cup, carefully arranged on a flat surface. The heavy use of shadows adds depth and realism, pulling the viewer into the introspective mood of the piece. Despite the simplicity of the subject matter, Theo van Doesburg employs meticulous brushwork and nuanced lighting to elevate the ordinary objects into a thoughtful and harmonious arrangement.
