About the piece
Painted around 1715 by Christian Berentz, this sophisticated still life captures a refined arrangement of glassware, a gilded bowl, and ladyfinger biscuits. The composition is noted for its masterful interplay of light and shadow, particularly in the translucent wine glasses and the rich textures of the blue fringed tablecloth, demonstrating the height of Late Baroque still life painting.
