·        Visual Analysis:

o   Composition: The artwork presents a moderately high-angle view of a blue piece of furniture (likely a chest or bin) that occupies most of the pictorial space.

o   Subject: A classic still life featuring everyday objects: a black and white duck decoy, a small turquoise bowl, and a potted plant (violets) resting on a white doily.

o   Palette: Dominated by the teal blue of the furniture, the palette is balanced by the neutral tones of the background wall and the dark accents of the duck. The green of the leaves and the violet of the flowers add a touch of organic life.

o   Style: Refined figurative. Cantin's work here is characterized by sharp outlines and a simplification of forms that give the scene an almost timeless and meditative dimension.
