About the piece

Painted by Ottmar Elliger in 1664, this masterful still life features glowing white grapes and velvet-skinned peaches resting on a stone plinth. The composition is enlivened by a variety of meticulously rendered creatures, including a lizard, a snail, and several insects, all set against a deep, atmospheric background that emphasizes the luminosity of the fruit in the style of the Dutch Golden Age.
