About the piece
Painted in 1653 by Simon Renard de Saint-André, this oil on canvas work is a masterful example of the French Baroque still life tradition. The composition centers on a highly ornate silver centerpiece draped with blue-and-white striped linen, surrounded by a polished nautilus shell, a silk ribbon, and a pocket watch, set against a backdrop of deep red drapery.
