A still life image depicts a mug of dark coffee with swirling, smoky patterns emanating from it. The mug is white with a curved handle and is positioned in the upper left corner of the frame, filled with a dark brown beverage. Below and around the mug, complex, abstract swirls resembling smoke or ink are visible in shades of gray and dark brown. The background transitions from darker shades near the mug to a lighter, almost white hue towards the bottom of the image, creating a gradient effect.
