About the piece
Created in 1659, this 'pronkstilleven' (ostentatious still life) by Willem Kalf is a study in texture and light. A Wanli porcelain bowl sits alongside luscious peaches and a characteristically coiled lemon peel, while tall glassware catches the light against a moody, near-black backdrop. This work exemplifies the sophistication and technical brilliance of the Dutch Golden Age.
