A rounded terracotta vase holds a generous arrangement of olive branches. Their slender leaves fan outward, and green and deep-purple olives catch the light. A few sprigs have fallen onto the rumpled linen cloth below.

The weathered wooden table and the pale, scraped plaster wall behind it set a calm, sunlit tone. Loose, textured brushwork and a limited palette of creams, ochres and soft greens give the scene a rustic, Mediterranean feel.
