A quick painting that was based on the 15th century dutch still life's, in particular Pieter Claesz. The artist's would use objects to portray messages, usually concerning the briefness of human life. Obvious objects such as skulls or wilting flowers would be used, but also subtle ones such as a half peeled lemon (like life, sweet in appearance, but bitter to taste).
