Anton Weiss's "Rozen, tomaten, abrikoos en schelp" (Roses, Tomatoes, Apricot, and Shell) is a detailed pencil drawing showcasing the artist's meticulous skill in rendering still life subjects. The composition features a carefully arranged collection of flowers, fruit, and a seashell, suggesting a sense of order and meticulous observation. The delicate details of the rose petals, the subtle shading of the tomatoes, and the textured surface of the apricot lend realism and depth to the work.
