About the piece

Attributed to Jan Baptist Weenix, this masterfully executed oil painting presents a traditional vanitas arrangement from 1680. The composition balances the lush abundance of autumn fruit with the delicate realism of game birds and the titular white mouse, set against a dramatic dark background that emphasizes the luminous colors of the harvest.
