@artherstory.bsky.social![A round gouache drawing against a white nearly square backdrop, depicting all of the items listed in the full title of the artwork: “glass with flowers on a table; lying beside it are an apple, a cherry, a melon, and a cluster of redcurrants [these may be gooseberries?]; perched on the rim of the glass is a small bird—a Swedish chaffinch.” In the foreground at lower left is a brown-and-white oblong seashell with a spiral at its top (spiral pointing toward the center of the painting). At lower right is a bug or beetle in front of the apple.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:6ptxeoq2bfatck3ca6ssid3r/bafkreihfq4o22kqyltzwqwvd4kef2mfbrdhmg5tpgawycmo3xywuiuyfmy@jpeg)
