About the piece

Painted in 1655 by Simon Luttichuys, this work is a quintessential example of Dutch Golden Age still life. The composition features a delicate Venetian-style wine glass alongside humble staples like bread and oysters, all rendered with exquisite detail and deep, atmospheric shadows that emphasize the luminous quality of the subjects.
