About the piece

Painted in 1653 by the renowned Dutch master Willem Claesz. Heda, this composition is a quintessential example of the 'monochrome banquet' style. The work features a tall 'roemer' glass and an overturned silver beaker, rendered with such precision that the reflections and liquid levels create a sense of quiet stillness and sophisticated elegance.
