About this work
Pieter Claesz (1597/1598 - 1660). Still life, 1647. All sorts of objects are spread out on the table. Some of them regularly reappear in still lifes, like the half-filled rummer (wine glass), the wedge of lemon, the roll on a pewter plate, and the crumpled napkin. In this still life Pieter Claesz has opted for colours that are quite close together, forming a monochromatic composition. When Claesz did this work, that style had actually already run its course. Purchased in 1900.
