About the piece

Painted in 1647 by the Dutch Golden Age master Pieter Claesz, this 'ontbijtje' (breakfast piece) showcases his virtuoso ability to capture light and texture. The composition balances the translucency of a wine-filled roemer with the metallic sheen of a salt cellar and the tactile peel of a lemon, set against a muted, atmospheric background.
