About the piece

Painted in 1652 by Antonio de Pereda, this work is a superb example of the Spanish 'bodegón' tradition. It displays an array of carefully rendered objects—from the dark ebony chest and a translucent glass flask to ornate ceramics and humble biscuits—arranged on a deep red tablecloth against a neutral background.
