This piece depicts a lobster, freshly cooked and glistening. Potapenkov depicts the food in its ideal state, laid out on a plate ready to eat. The natural light from the sun makes it glow softly, romanticising the lobster. The delicious appearance and the bright colours attracts the attention of the room. The oil paints bring warmth to the piece, whilst the smaller sized canvas gives it a more intimate feeling. Overall, Potapenkov depiction glamorises the lobster, adding a bright pop of orange and red to any room in which it hangs.
