A quiet autumn still life features a weathered wooden stool adorned with a dried maple leaf, acorns, and a small dark dish. Beneath, a wooden crate holds a glass jar with green herbs and red berries, adding subtle color. The dim, moody lighting enhances the textures of aged wood and natural elements, creating a contemplative, earthy atmosphere. The composition balances simplicity and detail, capturing the essence of fall’s quiet beauty. Photographer: Aleksandr Hromeev.
