The image is of an open page from a book. The page displays a black-and-white photograph of a still-life painting by Vincent Van Gogh. The painting features a collection of apples and other fruits arranged on a surface. The text accompanying the image is a description and analysis of the artwork.

The text below the image reads:

"STILL-LIFE
Lent by Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Brewster

as Cézanne’s trees are integrally a part of French vision. In quite another mood was the landscape by A. C. Gifford, a mellow landscape belonging to Mr. A. C. Goodyear. In this program one was whirled into the realm of this famous painter’s striving for intensity of expression in a remarkable still-life from the Walter S. Brewster collection. The other landscape from the Gilbert Fuller collection did not seem to come up to the high standard set by all the other contributions by the same master; it seemed a little meaningless in comparison.

All of the Cézannes in the exhibition have been reproduced in these pages. With all their rare qualities, considered individually, they did not as a group give as full an account of the gifts of the great solitary of Aix as the group of Van Goghs did of the troubled genius of Auvers. Degas, on the other hand, whose acceptance as a master came so many years before Cézanne was accepted, has found among American collectors sympathetic and discriminating connoisseurs of his pictures and of those by other artists without whom the exhibition would not be complete, will be continued in the May issue. At that time a further number of additional pictures will be reproduced."

The page number at the bottom right corner is 236. The text on the left side of the page appears to be part of a table of contents or an index, listing various sections or chapters of the book.
