This still life painted in oil represents a yellow and pink iris stuck in a triangular porcelain bottle.
This triangle is visually enlarged at its base by a grasshopper on the left and a shell on the right. The heavy-petaled iris flower needs a solid base to stand majestically before the viewer...
The small spider hanging from its thread adds more verticality, it acts as a plumb bob without even knowing it!
