About the piece
Painted around 1640 by Antonio de Puga, this Spanish Baroque work captures a quiet moment of everyday life in the tradition of the 'bodegón.' The scene is rendered with a rich, earthy palette and a focus on the tactile textures of terracotta jars, metal funnels, and coarse garments, showcasing a masterful handle on light and shadow.
