About the piece
Created in 1625 by Pieter Claesz, this oil painting is a quintessential example of the Dutch Golden Age 'ontbijtje' or breakfast still life. The composition features a centerpiece of glazed ham and bread accompanied by meticulously painted details like a tall Roemer glass and smoked fish, reflecting the artistic focus on texture and domestic prosperity in the early seventeenth century.
