About the piece
Created in 1897 by Dutch artist Jacob Simon Hendrik Kever, this oil study exemplifies the beauty found in domestic simplicity. The composition focuses on the heavy texture of a cauliflower and the metallic sheen of a copper jug, set upon a white linen cloth that provides a bright anchor against the deep, atmospheric shadows of the background.
