Leonid Afremov has depicted a glass of red wine on canvas. It is poured in a sophisticated crystal glass. Other details, like a candlestick contribute to the atmosphere of luxury and richness. A color palette adds to this sensation, since golden and sandish yellow colors are usually used to show prosperity and confidence in tomorrow.
This still life is incredibly soothing and aimed to add beauty to wherever it is, casting pleasant warm colors into the room. Wine in the glass looks tempting, and invites you to spend your evening in coziness of your home.
