Breakfast Piece

The painting presents a still-life arrangement on a dark table: a tall, engraved silver vessel, a glass of white wine, a large ham on a plate, pieces of bread, and a white cloth draped across the foreground. Light from the left creates soft highlights and deep shadows, rendering the metallic, glass, and organic surfaces with precise, smooth brushwork. The color palette is restrained, with silvery grays, warm browns, pink ham, and bright white cloth, producing a balanced, contemplative composition characteristic of Dutch 17th-century still lifes.
