About the piece
This 1650 still life by Bartholomeus Assteyn is a quintessentially elegant piece of Dutch Golden Age art. The composition focuses on a central arrangement of peaches and heavy clusters of grapes spilling from a basket, illuminated by a striking use of chiaroscuro against a deep, atmospheric background. The addition of a delicate wine glass and a metal plate on the wooden table highlights the artist's ability to render diverse textures from soft fruit skins to polished surfaces.
