About the piece

Painted around 1652 by Harmen Steenwijck, this oil on panel work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age still life tradition. The composition features a meticulously rendered plucked duck alongside vibrant fruit and an earthen jar, all bathed in a dramatic diagonal light that highlights the artist's technical precision and mastery of texture.
