About the piece

This refined 1635 work by Jan Jansz den Uyl is a classic example of Dutch Golden Age still life painting. The composition focuses on the interplay of light and shadow across a variety of textures, from the dark, reflective surface of the pewter jug to the intricate silverwork and the soft folds of the white linen cloth.
