The Red Cabinet
1954

A richly toned still life painting depicting a variety of objects arranged on shelves and a table. The scene includes kitchenware such as pots, pans, a colander, and utensils, alongside food items like a cut tomato, garlic, and a piece of cheese. The warm, earthy color palette consists of deep reds, browns, and ochres, creating a cozy, antique atmosphere. The composition is carefully balanced, with objects casting soft shadows, adding to the depth and texture of the artwork.
