About the piece

Painted in 1659 by Willem van Aelst, this exquisite still life showcases the artist's legendary ability to render textures, from the heavy velvet of the drapery to the bloom on the grapes and the sharp reflections in the large wine glass. The dramatic lighting and rich color palette of deep reds and cool blues make it a quintessential example of Dutch Golden Age opulence.
