About the piece
Painted around 1640 by Jacob van Es, this Dutch Golden Age still life is a masterclass in light and texture. The composition features humble breakfast items—a round loaf of bread, green olives on a pewter plate, and a cut lemon—anchored by a glass of wine that captures delicate reflections, all set against a deep, atmospheric backdrop.
