The image depicts a step-by-step process of applying a substance to a surface. In the first part of the image, a close-up view shows a bowl containing a white, creamy substance being stirred with a wooden stick. The bowl is set against a dark background, and the substance appears thick and smooth. In the second part of the image, a hand is shown holding a blue-handled tool, which is being used to spread the substance onto a surface. The tool has a flat, rectangular shape with a black edge, and the hand is positioned to apply the substance evenly. The background of this part of the image is a light gray, contrasting with the dark surface being worked on. The overall scene suggests a tutorial or instructional guide for applying a substance, possibly for a DIY project or maintenance task.

Still Life with Quinces, Medlars and a Glass, Martinus Nellius, 1669 - 1719
Virtually nothing is known about the painter Martinus Nellius, only a few works by whom have been preserved. He must have been active in Leiden and The Hague and, like his contemporary Adriaen Coorte, specialized in still lifes with simple compositions featuring only a few objects or fruits rendered with a great eye for detail.
