1. Medium: Watercolor on paper

2. Shapes and objects: A still life composition featuring a vase with sunflowers, a glass of tea on a decorative saucer, two apples, a cucumber, and a small blue and white bowl. The vase is tall and cream-colored with painted sunflower designs. There's a single large sunflower in the vase and two smaller sunflower heads visible.

3. Colours: Yellow for the sunflowers, cream for the vase, brown for the tea, golden yellow for the apples, green for the cucumber, blue and white for the small bowl. The background is a soft blue-grey, transitioning to a warm beige on the surface where the objects are placed.

4. Narrative: This painting captures a moment of simple domestic beauty, possibly a late summer or early autumn scene. The sunflowers suggest warmth and cheer, while the tea and fruits imply comfort and hospitality. The mix of natural elements (flowers and fruits) with man-made objects (vase, tea glass, bowl) creates a harmonious balance between nature and culture. There's a sense of abundance and contentment in this everyday still life.

5. Original Artist: While this is an original work by Mehrdad Fahimi, the style and subject matter are reminiscent of the still life paintings of French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. Cézanne was known for his studies of everyday objects, often including fruits and tableware in his compositions.

However, Fahimi's use of watercolor and the inclusion of the sunflowers also brings to mind some of the still life works of Vincent van Gogh, particularly his famous sunflower series.

A comparable work might be Cézanne's "Still Life with Apples and a Pot of Primroses" (ca. 1890), though Fahimi's painting has its own unique elements and a lighter, more fluid watercolor technique. Cézanne's works can be found in major museums worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

While Fahimi's painting is clearly his own, it seems to blend influences from both Post-Impressionism and more contemporary approaches to still life, creating a piece that feels both familiar and freshly observed.
