Summary:
A still life with a surreal atmosphere depicts eclectic objects atop a tilted tabletop. In the center there is a clock with a raven perched behind it, and a wall calendar turned to June 1940 hanging on the wall. In front is a red cloth, a grapevine with grapes and leaves, and a yellow ribbon with two white tags. To the right is an empty pitcher turned on its side, a dried branch with acorns and oak leaves. To the right is a red ribbon tied around a blue book or magazine.
