Painting that the artist did while in Rome. This oil on table exudes poetry in each of the storage objects and in the relationship that is created between them with the skilful use of color and free brushstroke. On a chest rests an arcabuz that traces a diagonal and whose destructive power is distorted by a floral pompon hanging from one side. An Oriental umbrella unfolds over the weapon, and the canvases scatter informally contributing to configure an ordered chaos, a contradiction of terms that only the palette and pulse of a great artist is able to materialize.
