This framed, 27 inch x 22 inch painting was done by Robert Bonaparte in 1980. The work is painted in an abstract manner, with short visible brush strokes. The subject matter consists of a green table with two vases and what appears to be a piece of fabric. Like a lot of Bonapartes work, the three dimensionality is absent, lacking any sort of shading or dimension. The green table fills a majority of the composition, while a light brown color fills the negative space around it. The piece of yellow fabric drapes across the table, also void of any shading, but recognizable as fabric as Bonaparte incorporates various lines that allude to a "draping" effect. To the left of the draped fabric, there are two vases. The bigger vase is positioned at the far left of the table, and is made up of a pale yellow color and a darker green color. The vase to the right is smaller and is painted with a light grey/tan color with various small brush strokes of blue and green, perhaps representing a sort of pattern or motif.

In the vibrant aftermath of WWII, amidst an Oklahoma City blooming with cultural resurgence thanks to New Deal initiatives, a young Robert Bonaparte found his calling alongside his childhood friend and neighbor, Ed Ruscha. While Ruscha's works found global acclaim, Bonaparte's creations remained a treasured secret, known only to a select group of collectors and friends. Born in 1933 in Oklahoma City, Robert Bonaparte emerged as a pivotal yet under-recognized figure in the abstract art scene. From an early age, Bonaparte formed a profound friendship and artistic dialogue with Ed Ruscha, a relationship that would influence both artists' careers. After graduating from the University of Arizona in 1956, Bonaparte's thirst for knowledge took him to Rome, Italy, where he furthered his studies in art, broadening his perspective and technique. In 1959, alongside a cohort of Oklahoma artists, he relocated to California, where his artistic expression flourished. Bonaparte's work, known for its vibrant landscapes and introspective still lifes, has graced galleries worldwide, from Galleria "La Vetrina" in Rome to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman, Oklahoma, showcasing his international acclaim and versatility. Despite the quieter recognition compared to his contemporaries, Bonaparte's contributions to the art world are invaluable.
