The image shows cone-shaped objects arranged in a diagonal repeating pattern on a black textured background. The cones are textured and rendered in gray and black tones. They are organized in a systematic manner, with each cone slightly tilted in a different direction. The composition is framed by a dark border with the text "andré kertesz/still life" at the top.

There is a large sculpted face and an old-fashioned oil lamp in the image. The face is propped against the right wall and the lamp is placed among other objects on the left.

The sculpted face is on a block in the upper right corner, while the lamp is positioned towards the left-center above a stack of books. There are three upside-down wine glasses on a tray with a bottle in the background. A cut-out figure resembling a dancer or mannequin is affixed to the wall behind these objects.
