About the piece
Painted around 1630 by Georg Flegel, this oil on panel is a superb example of early German still life painting. It depicts a breakfast arrangement of bread, butter, a glass of wine, and a soft-boiled egg, complemented by two delicate carnations in a glass vase. Flegel’s characteristic precision is evident in the luminous rendering of the glass and the tactile quality of the food items.
