The painting in gouache depicts a beautiful still life scene, capturing a moment frozen in time. At the center of the image, there is a slice of bread, cut diagonally, resting on a plate. The bread looks fresh and soft, with a golden-brown crust that contrasts nicely against the white interior. On either side of the plate, there are two jars, made of brown ceramic material. They are identical in shape and size, but each one has a different label on it. The jars seem to be holding some sort of condiment or spread, but it is difficult to tell from the painting. To the right of the plate, there is a whole onion, with its green stem still attached. The onion has been peeled, and the outer layers have been removed, revealing the smooth, white flesh underneath. The onion rests on its side, with its bottom facing the viewer. The background of the painting is a soft, gray-blue color. It provides a nice contrast to the warm colors of the bread and the onion, making them stand out even more. Overall, the painting is simple yet elegant, with a timeless quality that is sure to be appreciated by anyone who sees it.
