About this work
The title means "still life with a peasant cup," but here you only see the words, not the image.
This looks like a faded, mostly blank sheet with light brown and cream colors. There’s a faint, smudged shape in the middle that might have been a drawing or painting. The edges are torn, and the paper shows wear. In the center, someone wrote "Natură moartă cu cană țărănească" and "1964" in dark ink.
The title means "still life with a peasant cup," but here you only see the words, not the image. The paper has red and black stamps and numbers, like it’s been handled a lot.
