About the piece

Created by Osias Beert around 1612, this oil on panel is a definitive example of the Flemish 'stilleven' tradition. The work showcases the artist's ability to render diverse textures, from the translucent skin of cherries and the matte surface of bread to the intricate blue-and-white patterns of Chinese porcelain bowls and the polished glint of a silver vessel.
