The piece is often noted for its disjointed perspective. It has been described as a balanced composition due to its unbalanced parts;[1] the tilted bottle, the incline of the basket, and the foreshortened lines of the cookies mesh with the lines of the tablecloth.[1] Additionally, the right side of the tabletop is not in the same plane as the left side, as if the image simultaneously reflects two viewpoints.[2] Paintings such as this helped form a bridge between Impressionism and Cubism.[2]
