About the piece
Painted by Georg Hainz in 1645, this striking composition is an elegant example of mid-17th-century still life painting. It centers on a tall glass of beer, where the artist has meticulously rendered the light passing through the liquid and the airy texture of the foam. Scattered hazelnuts in various states of being cracked surround the glass on a dark ledge, creating a grounding, tactile scene typical of the period's interest in everyday objects and the concept of transience.
