Elegy

In the center of the composition of the still life "Elegy" is a flower vase with beautiful and bright flowers. These flowers symbolize beauty and life; they personify the fact that all natural phenomena have their own cycle of existence and disappearance.

Around the flowerpot are various objects, such as an antique book, a plate of fruit, a jug and a crystal wine glass. These objects create an atmosphere of peace, which emphasizes the elegiac nature of the still life.
