About the piece
Painted in 1697, this work by Dutch Master Adriaen Coorte is a celebrated example of his focused, minimalist approach to still life. The composition features a bundle of white asparagus stalks rendered with luminous detail, their pale forms emerging from a deep chiaroscuro background to rest upon a weathered stone ledge.
