About the piece

Painted by Abraham Mignon circa 1660, this masterpiece of Dutch still life captures a staggering array of textures and colors with scientific precision. The composition balances the heavy, saturated reds of a cooked lobster and pomegranates against the translucent glow of grapes and fine glassware, while a small goldfinch adds a touch of narrative life to the opulent, atmospheric display.
