Henri Rousseau "The Pink Candle" 1908. Oil on canvas. Naive art. A painting left to right of fruit on a white tablecloth, a baby pink candle in a candleholder and what looks to be a small slice of bread, and a squat bottle of wine.
““I urge you not to refuse a cup,
for the spring wind has come to laugh at us...
...If you do not drink the wine,
Then where are the men of yesteryear?”
-Li Bo from "Facing Wine"
