A herring in lace

A still life is depicted on the canvas in a realistic manner. A herring with a shiny, silvery skin is laid out on the table, as if inviting to a meal. Next to it are sliced, slightly dried bread, slices of cheese with mouth–watering holes and ruddy whole tomatoes mixed with fragrant garlic. A bunch of green onions lies carelessly by the herring, adding color and freshness to the composition. Simple but familiar objects tell a story about homely comfort and a modest feast.
