A large rectangular table with two teapots, some fruit, a dish with small cakes and a beautiful brioche from Crécy-la-Chapelle en Brie which gives its name to the painting.
The warm colours of the fruit and the brioche are set against a blue tablecloth that matches the blue-green of the French window in the background. The round shapes of the objects displayed on the tablecloth contrast with the rectilinear shapes of the table and the window panes. The window reveals a garden flooded with light, which casts the shadow of the window frame on the left wall behind the table.
The sparse composition of the still life allows us to admire the tablecloth, whose treatment with luminous touches creates a moving surface characteristic of the Lacazian style, where the eye never gets bored.
As if through the frame of the French window, the objects placed in an H-shape on the table allow the coloured vibrations of the tablecloth to pass through.
A celebration of the table and its pleasures, this painting sings above all the power of light that crosses the space and magnifies each everyday object in a soft tone.
