About the piece
Painted in 1655 by Jan Albertsz Rotius, this work is a quintessential example of the Dutch Golden Age 'pronkstilleven'. The composition captures a meticulously rendered crab alongside a tall silver goblet and a delicate glass of wine, set against the crisp folds of a white tablecloth to demonstrate the artist's virtuosity with light and reflection.
