Amerikanische Malerei 1885–1890, c. 1890s

In this painting, there are two round, crusty rolls next to a cream-colored cup with a floral blue-and-yellow design on top of a saucer with a gold rim. The rolls are in the lower left, while the cup is placed slightly to the right of center. The rolls are dark brown on the top, golden on some sides, and white on the other sides. A light brown object lies horizontally on the right in front of the saucer, perhaps the handle of a utensil. The surface the objects rest on is a counter with a light blue top and a dark brown base. Behind the objects, the background is dark red with some black shadows.
