About the piece
Dated to 1633, this oil painting by Georg Flegel is a sophisticated example of early German still-life painting. The composition masterfully balances a luminous glass of wine with the intricate textures of sugared sweetmeats in a porcelain bowl, punctuated by the delicate presence of a butterfly and a ladybug, reflecting the era's fascination with detail and mortality.
