About the piece
Painted in 1894 by Finnish artist Pekka Halonen during his time in Paris, this still life showcases a refined arrangement of domestic and intellectual objects. The composition features a luminous glass decanter, a decorative floral vase, and scattered volumes and papers on a crisp white tablecloth, rendered with a sensitive eye for light, texture, and the quiet dignity of everyday objects.
