Obviously it helps if you can see the image in question. It could also be that there is only one table, in which case I would simplify the sentence and say that the table is placed in the foreground, parallel to the picture plane.
Does that make any sense in your context?

This would be an example of a figure brought forward in the image parallel to the picture plane:
