Minimalist Artichoke on Wooden Table

A single artichoke rests on a smooth wooden table, captured in a minimalist still-life style. The background is neutral (soft gray-beige) with no other objects. Soft directional daylight from the left highlights the artichoke's textured scales and subtle green-purple hues, while gentle shadows emphasize form. The composition is clean and simple, with the artichoke placed off-center following the rule of thirds. The wood grain is visible but restrained, in warm browns that complement the muted palette. Use a shallow depth of field so the background remains unobtrusive, and render in high detail with a calm, contemplative mood. Suitable for photorealistic realism or painterly minimalist illustration.
