This painting is one of a group of eight done for the most part in about a week (June 13-21, 1943). All are composed of compote-dish and three glasses on a table before a wall. In some there is a rectangular picture on the wall; a hint of it appears in the Kreeger painting. This is one of the more complexly broken-up members of the series and one of those in which the pattern and strokes most plays an outstanding role.
