Abstract blocks of chartreuse, white, brown, flat grey, and marbled grey clearly outlined in black define the space and contents of this somber, semi-representational picture. Several items are perched on a mantlepiece, which is supported by a decorative ionic capital on the right side. From left to right these objects include a gray and brown pitcher, two pieces of fruit, and a yellow guitar with five black strings. Behind these items is what appears to be a piece of sheet music. — Georges Braque

Still Life on a Mantelpiece , ca. 1923
