Story / Additional InfoThe bird in the painting is in silhouette, since the cage door is open and the bird has flown free. This theme has been explored in other works by this artist. The eggs in the bowl are a recurring image in the artist's work as is the patterned curtain, the checked table cloth and arched window. The artist was influenced by Picasso and Matisse as depicted by the female figure on the left and the plants hanging down in the foreground at the top. The style is post impressionist. Reds predominate with yellow and blue primary colors.
