"description": "In the early 1920s, Braque painted a series of still lifes notable for their focus on a few objects compressed into a dense space. This still life features a brown wicker basket with five or six flowers packed into a horizontal format. The basket dominates the space by its size and central placement. The absence of a conventional foreground is striking. Rather than recede into space, the tabletop is tilted upright so it exists on the same vertical plane as the gray wall. A decorator\u2019s comb was used to create the wood grain pattern in the tabletop.",
