About the piece
Dating to 1647, this masterful Dutch Golden Age still life from the Städel Museum collection displays an array of luxury goods. The composition centers on a magnificent nautilus cup and a partially consumed meat pie, complemented by the delicate textures of a peeled lemon and fine glassware, all rendered with sophisticated lighting against a warm, atmospheric background.
