Still Life with Three Birds' Nests

Painting of three bird nests among twigs and branches against a dark, shadowy background, two holding pale eggs, one upper left and one lower center, with a third receding at right over a warm brown ground. Loose, textured brushwork and a muted earthy palette define the scene.
