Description

A still life photograph shows cut foliage and berries arranged around a cracked plate, reflecting in a dark tabletop against a mottled backdrop. A sprig of long green leaves curves from the upper right toward the center, while smaller green cuttings stand in a clear glass. Tiny red berries lay scattered at the base of the glass. A broken white plate lays on its side, surrounded by fallen greenery and tiny purple flowers. The dark, reflective surface of the table mirrors the composition. Behind the arrangement is a mottled blue, brown, and grey backdrop that is darker on the right. The lighting is directed.
