| Place of origin |
This painting shows how thoroughly Exter had assimilated Cubist principles. The familiar cubist motif of a musical instrument and studio paraphernalia on a table top is presented as a construction of planes. She has flattened the forms but indicated volume and depth by making space an element in the composition.
