Description: | The composition is based on a diagonal from the top left to the bottom right. Foodstuff and vessels are arranged below: an embossed chalice, a rummer, a blue-white dish with fruit, a beaker, ham, a drinking horn, bread, a napkin, a large plain jug. The white cloth, twisted lemon zest and unripe peaches placed decoratively at the edge of the table add a note of instability. The restrained colour range, reflecting the Haarlem tradition of the 'monochromatic' still life, is relieved by red and yellow fruit and the dark red ham. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Heda, Willem Claesz.
