About the piece
Painted in 1644, this oil on wood still life by Pieter Claesz showcases the Dutch artist's legendary ability to render textures and light. The composition features a traditional 'breakfast piece' arrangement, where the glistening surfaces of fresh oysters and a peeled lemon contrast beautifully with the heavy, ornate metalware and the soft folds of a white tablecloth.
