Still Life with a Gilt Cup

Still Life with a Gilt Cup shows a table covered with a white cloth, bearing oysters on metal plates, bread rolls, a small glass, and a pepper shaker. A tall ornate gilded vessel and a green glass goblet form a focal point to the right, with a dark pewter jug and other metal objects nearby whose polished surfaces catch the light. The scene is rendered in a restrained, highly detailed Dutch Golden Age still-life style, with a muted palette of whites, browns, silvers, and a touch of green, and a careful, orderly arrangement.
