A quiet, intimate still life captured in high-contrast black and white. Centered on a rough wooden tabletop, a small stovetop coffee maker—its fluted metal surface catching bright highlights—stands between a well-used mug on the left and a shallow plate of pastries on the right. The mug holds a dark liquid and a spoon, the handle leaning against the rim; a printed motif and the word "coffee" are visible on its side, worn but legible. On the plate, three rustic rolls or croissants sit piled together, their flaky textures rendered in a range of grays that emphasize crust and crumb.
The background is a weathered wooden plank wall whose grain and knots give the scene a lived-in, homely feel. Light seems to come from the left, skimming the metal and casting soft shadows across the tabletop, creating a triangular composition that guides the eye from cup to pot to plate. Reflections on the coffee maker are smooth and slightly diffused, while the pastries and wood show more matte, tactile surfaces.
Overall the image feels like a pause in a morning ritual: simple objects arranged with care, the palette of blacks, whites and midtones lending it a timeless, slightly nostalgic mood.
