About the piece

This masterful still life by Joris van Son exemplifies the 'pronkstilleven' (ostentatious still life) tradition of the 17th century. A brilliant red lobster serves as the focal point, surrounded by meticulously rendered grapes, peaches, lemons, and oysters, all resting upon a heavy draped cloth. Van Son's technical prowess is evident in the varied textures, from the hard, reflective shell of the crustacean to the soft bloom on the grapes and the rough shells of the oysters.
