Still Life at breakfast piece with Berckemeyer

The still life shows a breakfast arrangement on a white-draped table, with a partially sliced loaf and bread fragments on a plate to the left, a central tart-like pie with a dark filling, and lemon halves and rind on a plate in the foreground. A tall glass of wine sits behind the pie, while on the right a polished metal ewer and a curving jug reflect light against a neutral background. The composition uses a restrained Dutch palette of browns, silvers, and whites, with careful, late-Renaissance chiaroscuro and precise textures that characterize Pieter Claesz’s still-life style.
