About the piece

Painted in 1657 by Andreas Stech, this exquisite still life showcases the artist's virtuosity in depicting varied textures, from the translucent skin of grapes to the rough peel of a lemon. A playful squirrel perched among the fruit adds a narrative touch to the formal arrangement of pears, apples, and a decorative stoneware jug.
