A large incandescent light bulb hangs from a cord against a dark, textured background. The color palette includes black, dark gray, brownish, and reddish hues on the bulb and cord. A faint outline of text reading "RECENT STILL LIFE" is positioned at the bottom of the image. The bulb and cord are in the central vertical axis, with the top of the cord extending out of the frame and the bulb hanging near the bottom center.
