Art writers noted several elements of the painting as dominant, either visually or thematically. Moir, for example, notes the key role that the contrast between light and shadow plays in the composition: a window placed high on the left allows a ray of light to penetrate the room, illuminating, as it slides over the wall, the boy, the lush fruit basket, the shirt sleeve, the sensual bare ...

Still Life with Fruit on a Stone Ledge is a painting attributed to the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610). The picture has been variously dated between 1601 and 1610 (Caravaggio scholar John T. Spike lists the date as circa 1603 in the second revised edition [ 1 ] of his study of the artist).
The painting is dominated by a depiction of a stemmed silver fruit bowl containing pears. A deliberately created optical illusion of the human face occupies the same space as the dish; the fruits suggest wavy hair, the dish's bowl becomes the forehead, the stem of the dish serves as the bridge of the nose, and the dish's foot doubles as the chin.

A physical characteristic is that she always appears in scratchy black and white, reminiscent of old film footage, while the world around her remains in color (an effect achieved through the use of chroma key, requiring Coffield to wear clothing and body paint of the same color with avoidance of the same color elsewhere on the set).
