About the piece
Painted in 1623, this work by Balthasar van der Ast showcases the meticulous realism characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. A Wanli porcelain bowl overflows with grapes and fruit, while the foreground is adorned with rare seashells, a variegated tulip, and various insects, all set against a dramatic, moody background that emphasizes the luminosity of the subjects.
