This still life depicts a woven basket filled with red radicchio and green cabbage, arranged with scenic attention. The basket, a recurring element in Aguzzi's works, is made with a meticulous rendering of weave and light. The vegetables emerge strongly through color contrast: the warm red of the radicchio and the cool green of the cabbage offer a striking visual effect, while maintaining a refined tonal balance.

The work fits into the artist's more meditative production, in which the everyday object is elevated to a silent protagonist. Aguzzi shows a clear influence of 20th-century Lombard painting, with a taste for rigorous drawing and sober but intense coloring. The rural subject, simple but noble, evokes a sense of rural memory and identity.
