About the piece

Painted in 1645 by Dutch artist Laurens Craen, this sophisticated still life captures a moment of opulent abundance. The composition expertly balances the detailed textures of oysters, peeling lemons, and succulent grapes with a serene imaginary landscape glimpsed through an open window draped in heavy red velvet.
