Physical Description
A squat teapot with an upturned spout, executed in gray and white that suggests silverware, sits left of center on a darker gray tray. To the right of the teapot is a lemon in bright yellow. The objects are surounded by black, and there is a dark gray frame of color around the entire print.
Subject Matter
A color lithograph still life by Georges Braque. Braque uses the medium to explore minimal representations of objects and space through color, form, and line. The piece is an interesting mix of Cubist and Impressionist representations of perception.
