About the piece
Created in 1693 by Martinus Nellius, this 'breakfast piece' captures the quiet elegance of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition centers on a tall roemer glass, surrounded by a vibrant orange, fresh cherries, and a glistening oyster, while butterflies add a touch of fleeting life to the dark, atmospheric scene.
