About the piece
Painted in 1631, this 'pronkstilleven' (ostentatious still life) by Willem Claesz. Heda showcases the artist's legendary skill in capturing light on varied surfaces. The composition centers on the interplay of reflective metals—an upright golden cup and a fallen silver beaker—alongside a delicately rendered watch, likely serving as a vanitas symbol for the fleeting nature of time.
