About the piece

Painted around 1615 by Floris van Schooten, this 'ontbijtje' or breakfast piece is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with domestic life and material realism. The composition features a meticulously rendered joint of ham, stacked wheels of cheese, and delicate rolls, all arranged with a sophisticated play of light and shadow on a crisp linen cloth.
