Original artwork description:

The composition features a variety of glass and crystal vessels—a goblet, a tumbler, a jar, and a pair of delicate vases. Each one contains red apples, their rich, vibrant tones standing in striking contrast to the cool transparency of the glass.
The central focus of the piece is the interaction of light and the visual distortion of the apples within the transparent forms. The watercolor delicately captures the refractions, reflections, highlights, and subtle color shifts created by the curved and faceted surfaces. Light filters through the glass, casting intricate shadows and tonal variations, all accentuated by a deep, dark background, which makes the highlights and silhouettes appear even more luminous.
The shape of each apple shifts from one vessel to another—some appear stretched, others doubled or softened—creating a sense of visual tension and curiosity. This play of perception invites the viewer to look closely, to explore the nuanced, ever-changing forms hidden within the glass.
The painting is executed with a light, refined touch, skillfully balancing transparency, shadow, and color. Against the dark background, the glass appears even more fragile and luminous, while the apples glow with richness and ripeness.
This still life is not only decorative but also poetic in its visual precision, making it an ideal piece for interiors that emphasize contrast, elegance, and a thoughtful appreciation of everyday beauty—such as a living room, study, or intimate dining space.
