About the piece
Painted in 1643, this work by Pieter Claesz is a definitive example of the Dutch 'breakfast piece.' Claesz demonstrates his technical virtuosity through the precise rendering of light reflecting off diverse surfaces—from the polished sheen of the silver ewer to the translucent pulp of a lemon and the vibrant, textured shell of the lobster.
