Exceptional work by the internationally recognized pioneer Dimitris Galanis, one of the most important engravers of the first half of the 20th century in Europe and a pioneer of modern Greek engraving who also engaged in cartooning and painting in a diverse and multifaceted work. In this masterful still life, tossing between the values ​​of the color of light and the intensity of the form, he achieves a particularly dynamic painting formulation with a monumental character and clear influences from Cézanne.
