Austrian painter Herbert Ploberger has staged a large number of objects in this interior space dominated by light and shadow. A fruit still life with a pineapple and lemons is positioned on a chair. A lush bouquet of flowers in a vase radiates from the right edge of the picture. Opened wine bottles, a half-filled glass, an open newspaper, and the washbasin mark the absence of one or more people in this sober, tidy-looking composition. Ploberger worked primarily as a stage and costume designer. This picture, done in the New Objectivity style, is also reminiscent of a theater stage, where things seem frozen in silent dialogue.
