Some Helmantels have the 'wow' factor immediately at first glance. Brilliantly done! This small work featuring everyday objects has it all from a distance. The clarity of the lighting is captured very well. The light sparkles off the gleaming wooden tub. The traces of centuries of use turn the table, the bowl, and the earthenware into a spectacle where much is happening and there is much to see. It possesses all the characteristics for which the painter has become famous.
