About the piece

Painted in 1635 by Willem Claesz. Heda, this 'breakfast piece' is a pinnacle of Dutch Golden Age realism. The composition masterfully balances the luster of a tall gilt cup and pewter pitcher against the delicate translucence of a green roemer and the rough textures of oysters and bread, all rendered with luminous precision.
