About the piece

Created in 1659 by the Dutch master Willem Kalf, this 'pronkstilleven' (ostentatious still life) demonstrates a superb command of light and shadow. The composition highlights a roemer glass of white wine, a glistening peeled lemon, and an orange arranged on a silver platter, set against a dark, moody background that exemplifies the refined elegance of the Dutch Golden Age.
