About the piece
Painted in 1664 by Nicolaes van Gelder, this work is a superb example of the 'pronkstilleven' or ostentatious still life popular during the Dutch Golden Age. The composition masterfully balances the organic textures of ripe fruit and delicate roses with the cold surfaces of glassware and ceramic jugs, all set against a dramatic, moody background.
