One of Picasso's earliest Cubist paintings, this still life depicts a group of objects on a table. A lady's green fan is opened and propped against the wall, where it dissolves into faceted, geometric planes. A wooden salt box, a sliced melon in a crystal bowl, and a rumpled cloth also rest on the table. While some objects are depicted from a frontal view, the table is tilted upright, as if seen from the ceiling.
