STILL LIFE
Height, 24¼ inches; width, 17 inches
A barrel sawn in two, a large iron kettle, a long-handled iron frying-pan, and a rough cask standing on the ground in the sunlight near the corner of a whitewashed building, the door of which is seen on the right of the composition. On the left is suggested a narrow passageway in the gloom of a deep shadow. The different articles are strongly contrasted in light, shadow and texture.
Signed at the lower left, A. Vollon.
