Braque's early training in decorative arts is apparent in his use of varying textures in this still life. The green-and-white pattern references a wallpaper design, and the addition of sand to wet paint gives a matte quality to the picture surface. His "faux" effects also recall the multimedia collage approach of synthetic cubism, developed by Picasso and Braque, though the only materials used here are paint and sand.
