About the piece

Painted in 1659 by Willem Kalf, this 'pronkstilleven' (ostentatious still life) demonstrates the artist's unparalleled ability to render textures and reflections. The composition features a towering Venetian-style glass and a silver tray with a partially peeled lemon and a vibrant orange, all emerging from a dramatic, dark background that highlights the luminous subjects.
