Description from the Belvedere card file index:
the painting belongs to a group of still lifes depicting foliage plants, painted by Carl Moll circa 1930. In this variant, he creates perspectival space using a constellation of objects arranged diagonally across the table top, overlaying them in various places in an apparently casual manner. The foliate plant and the mass of tubers cannot be seen in their entirety within the picture frame, the front edge of the table top also being cut away at the lower picture edge. The higher viewpoint from which we see the table top, in comparison with the other still life from this period, creates a flatter painterly effect as a whole, which is further heightened by the intense colouration, the stark blue hues of the shadows and the artist’s temperamental brushwork.
