Study of a closed can

This painting represents an old small can (about 7 cm high in reality), which the artist found when emptying the old parents’ home. The can had an inscription on it : “Only to be opened at medicine’s prescription”. After all those years, it was still closed, and this inspired her to paint it in a very “hermetic” way: without text, leaving it without explanations, even more “closed” than the original object.
