About the piece
Attributed to Andries Benedetti, this 1669 oil painting is a classic example of a 'pronkstilleven,' or ostentatious still life. The composition features a striking red lobster—a historical symbol of luxury—alongside an overflowing basket of grapes, velvety peaches, and a split pomegranate, all set against a backdrop of heavy, theatrical velvet drapery.
