About the piece
Created in 1667 by Dutch artist Pieter Gallis, this still life is a masterful study in light and shadow. The vibrant tones of the crab and the classic blue-and-white porcelain bowl serve as a sharp focal point against an atmospheric, near-black backdrop where silhouettes of glassware subtly appear in the darkness.
