On an even, neutral table lies a magnificent crystal cognac glass, positioned centrally and statically as a tribute to form and craftsmanship. The glass is empty but exudes a quiet richness. The delicate lines and facets of the crystal capture the incident light coming from the left and refract it into a subtle spectrum of sparkles. This light accentuates the curves of the glass and reveals the precision with which it has been crafted. The resulting shadows are soft and flow smoothly across the table surface, evoking a sense of calm and balance.
The background is deliberately kept plain, so that all attention goes to the glass. This minimalist setting enhances the fragile elegance of the object and creates an almost meditative atmosphere. The play of light and shadow emphasises the contrast between transparency and solidity, between presence and emptiness. This gives the everyday object an almost monumental status.
The artwork balances on the border between realism and abstraction: although the object is immediately recognisable, the composition invites reflection. What is normally functional is here elevated to aesthetic centrepiece. The *Crystal Cognac Glass* is more than a still life; it is an ode to simplicity, material and light. In its stillness, it speaks to the imagination - a moment of beauty captured in glass.
