About the piece

Painted around 1915 by Paul Claes, this still life showcases a masterful study of light and texture. A lidded pewter pitcher takes center stage, its metallic surface catching soft glints, while a rustic striped mug and bread complete the intimate scene. The deep, dark background provides a grounding atmosphere, making it a perfect fit for sophisticated, traditional spaces.
