aspic

A vertical portrait composition focusing on a delicate aspic in an intricate mold, set against a plain wall as the background. The aspic is centered on a dark, polished wooden surface, illuminated by the subtle glow of soft north-facing window light, without showing the window itself. A nearby silver pitcher casts elegant reflections on the wall, enhancing the composition. In the foreground, spindly fingers are delicately adjusting a small garnish on the aspic. The background features a simple wall, providing a contrast to the detailed texture of the aspic, pitcher, and the arrangement of oranges and onions nearby.
