About the piece

Painted by the Dutch master Willem Kalf around 1660, this work is a superb example of a 'pronkstilleven', or ostentatious still life. It showcases the artist's extraordinary ability to render the play of light across diverse surfaces—the velvety skin of the peaches, the oily zest of a curled lemon peel, and the translucent brilliance of Venetian-style glassware.
