About the piece
Painted around 1655 by Abraham van Beijeren, this 'pronkstilleven' or sumptuous still life showcases the artist's remarkable skill in rendering diverse materials. The composition features an array of luxury items, including Venetian-style glassware, a silver bowl, and a pocket watch, contrasted with the organic forms of ripe peaches, grapes, and a lobster, all arranged with the dramatic chiaroscuro characteristic of the era.
