About the piece
Painted in 1643 by Pieter Claesz, this 'breakfast piece' (ontbijtje) captures the tactile elegance of 17th-century Dutch life. The composition artfully balances the verticality of the studded roemer glass with the horizontal sprawl of the crab and the spiral of the lemon peel, all illuminated by a soft, directional light characteristic of Haarlem school painters.
