Cézanne inherited the compositional device of situating a still life on the corner of a table from 17th-century Dutch painting. The motif can be also seen in the repeated efforts of Henri Fantin-Latour and his 19th-century contemporaries. The present canvas is unusual both in its plain, quickly executed dark background and in the curious pyramid of foliage that forms an apex at the upper center of the composition. Except for the plate of peaches, the composition is made of disjunct parts that do not come together as a whole.
