Spanish school (XVII) - Bodegón mallorquín

• The center: Highlights a pewter plate or white ceramic on which a large cluster of dark grapes and a row of opened figs are arranged. A large vine or branch crosses diagonally the scene above the grapes.
• The right side: Highlights a carved silver amphora or vase with two large curved handles. From its interior springs a bouquet of wildflowers among which a distinctly bicolor tulip (orange and yellow) stands out, accompanied by small carnations.
• The left side: A row of round fruits grouped together that resemble peaches or pomegranates, flanked at the upper corner by delicate white flowers with their leaves.
• The background: True to the tenebrist style of the period, the background is completely dark, flat, and neutral. This creates a strong light–dark contrast that heightens the volumes, the textures of the fruit skins, the metallic gleams of the vase, and the vividness of the reddish, green, and white tones of the elements.
The painting is housed within a prominent old dark wooden frame with gold details and filigree in a classic style.
