About the piece
This 1696 oil painting by Adriaen Coorte exemplifies the artist's signature style of isolating humble subjects against a dark, featureless void. The masterful treatment of light gives the pale asparagus stalks a near-luminous quality, while the delicate red currants add a touch of jewel-like color to the composition, creating a work that is both simple and profoundly elegant.
