Just some of the highs and lows of my recreation :) Taken @ 50mm, Cam placed on table, used a wallet to hold the lens up. Focused on my science books, The bottle on the right is a Sake bottle, but It was empty. The cigar was lit, but who could tell with the horrible lighting. The lighting is so flat since I was only using my dining room high-hat bulbs.

PP: Convert to grayscale, used a gradient fill layer @ 50% opacity.

Sometimes an image can be so subtle that it fails to convey what the author was attempting to capture. This is the case in this image - the idea doesn't come across readily even after several viewings. Additionally, the image is a less than successful conversion being rather flat and this effect is enhanced by the extreme distance and bokeh of the subjects in the background. A little more time and thought into how the author wanted to express the idea would have helped clarify the central theme - which even to this point is lost to the reviewer.
