The painting titled "Studies" by Walter Spiers is a detailed still life that depicts a variety of objects meticulously arranged on shelves. The objects include several pieces of fine porcelain, such as vases, teapots, cups, and plates, showcasing intricate designs and patterns. These porcelain items are predominantly in pastel colours with floral motifs, although one prominent vase on the left side is more vividly decorated with red, blue, and gold accents and depicts a scene with figures.

In addition to the porcelain, there are numerous books with ornate covers and visible spine labels, hinting at their antiquity and value. The books are stacked and arranged both horizontally and vertically, adding a sense of depth to the composition. Other items include small decorative objects like a delicate fan, a string of beads or a rosary, and an ornate brass object that appears to be a candlestick or small lamp.

The shelves themselves have a scalloped edge, adding to the overall aesthetic of the scene. The background is dark, which contrasts beautifully with the lighter tones of the porcelain and the muted colours of the books, drawing attention to the fine details and textures of the objects in the foreground. The painting captures a sense of historical elegance and showcases the artist's skill in rendering detailed and realistic textures.
