The light source for this drawing was the main light in the room which was hanging down from the ceiling. However there was a large mirror on the right hand side which reflected some of the light onto the objects and the cloth. These are some of the object collected from around the house. There is a basket, living room decoration, paint bottle, pan, cup, plate and a smaller container. The pan was made of metal which was a reflective surface and this reflected some of the surroundings. The decoration was paper leafs in a long thin vase. There are some strong cast shadows especially from the basket, the pan and the plate.
