Playful and lively composition focusing on citrus fruits, leaves, a glass with ice cubes and a wine bottle. In the same cutting art style as the previous image, this work also exudes a sense of simplicity, fun and seasonal abundance. The shapes are stylised and flat, reminiscent of Matisse's work, with a harmonious distribution of space and colour.
Although the colours are reminiscent of a summer setting - with fresh yellows, soft greens, lavender blues and terracotta reds - the work can also be read as a transition to early autumn, when the last citrus harvests are brought in and the season slowly tilts. The presence of the glass of ice suggests another hint of warmth, but the use of colour remains soft and earthy, befitting the late summer and early autumn feeling.
The composition exudes festivity, tranquillity and balance. The alternation of open and closed shapes is striking, allowing the eye to constantly find new routes in the image. The lemon with segments forms a subtle centrepiece that adds movement and freshness to the further rounded shapes of oranges and leaves.
