About the piece
Dating from approximately 1660, this Flemish-style still life showcases the 'pronkstilleben' tradition of displaying abundance. The composition balances the vivid red of a cooked lobster against a cool blue-and-white stoneware jug, accompanied by delicately rendered grapes, peaches, and oysters on a crisp white cloth. The dramatic chiaroscuro effect creates a deep, atmospheric backdrop that allows the central subjects to glow with lifelike detail.
