Blue Vessels on Ochre

A compact still life places a dark, rounded jar beside a pale bottle and tall tumbler, all resting on a loosely indicated horizontal surface. Blue-gray marks define the vessels with expressive, uneven edges, while the warm ochre ground remains visible around them, giving the arrangement the immediacy of a studio study. Reflected highlights and deep shadows create a quiet sense of weight and volume without sacrificing the work’s sketchlike character.
