Still Life With Mushrooms
1960

A vibrant painting depicting a still life scene with a yellow basket filled with assorted fruits and vegetables on a dark red table. To the right of the basket is a black frying pan with a red handle, containing what appears to be a white substance, possibly food, with a green leafy top. In front of the basket is a cup and saucer, suggesting a setting for a meal. The background is a warm golden hue, and the painting is signed at the bottom right.
