The painting presents a harmonious composition of delicately arranged oranges. Some of the oranges are on a table, while others rest on a plate placed to the right of the composition, creating a sense of visual balance. The artist has used subtle warm tones that infuse a welcoming and warm atmosphere. The work is enriched by glazes in the background, where blue, yellow, brown and gold hues can be seen, creating an atmosphere rich in nuances and textures. The light, skillfully handled by the artist, models and explains the shapes of the oranges, revealing their contours and volumes with great mastery. This soft and enveloping light contributes to the feeling of tranquility and serenity that emanates from the composition.
