About the piece
Attributed to Jacob van Es, this 1619 oil on panel is a quintessential example of Flemish 'banketje' or banquet still life. The composition showcases a meticulous attention to detail, from the translucent skins of the grapes and the pearlescent interior of the oyster shells to the intricate chasing on the golden goblet. Set against a dramatic dark background, these elements create a sense of timeless elegance and culinary abundance.
