About the piece

Painted around 1660 by Abraham van Beijeren, this classic 'pronkstilleven' (ostentatious still life) showcases the artist's virtuosity in capturing varied textures. A reflective silver pitcher serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by a bold red lobster, lush grapes, and a sliced melon, all arranged on a richly draped table that emerges from a dramatic, dark background.
