The artwork, titled “Still Life,” was created by Clara Peeters in 1607. It belongs to the Baroque art movement and falls under the genre of still life. Currently, this artwork resides in a private collection.
The painting depicts an exquisitely arranged scene featuring various objects on a table. Central to the composition are two elegantly shaped glass goblets, one filled with a dark red liquid and the other with a lighter, transparent beverage. In the foreground, a pewter plate holds a selection of items including intricately detailed pastries, small pearls, and pieces of silverware. To the right, a lit candle in a brass holder illuminates the scene, casting a warm glow and subtle shadows. Additionally, natural elements such as sprigs of greenery and a solitary fly add a touch of realism to the arrangement. The meticulous attention to texture, light, and composition exemplifies the Baroque style and showcases Clara Peeters’ mastery in still life painting.
