In this tall composition, a guitar, bottle, grapes, pears, and a musical score are placed upon a green marbleized fireplace. The work is characteristic of Braque"s conservative mood after the heady years of Cubism and belongs to a series of paintings with musical subtitles such as Valse (Waltz), Java (Popular Dance), Quatuor (Quartet), and Duo, as seen here.
