About the piece

Painted in 1616 by David Rijckaert II, this still life captures the opulent simplicity of 17th-century dining. The work showcases meticulous attention to texture—from the glistening skin of the roasted capon and the sparkling bubbles in the wine to the soft crust of the bread and the intricately patterned linen cloth.
