Description

Subject Matter:

Cavalli painted many still lifes, including several similarly arranged depicting some of the same objects including in 1970 Natura Morta con Conchiglia and Conchiglia e Sfera. Cavalli was a part of the second phase of the scuola romana (School of Rome) movement, a group of artists gathered together out of friendship and culture rather than stylistic similarity, although a return to classicism was a dominant current. 

Physical Description:

A painting of two green bottles, a pear, an egg, a shell, and several other objects on a flat brown surface.
