Still Life with Oysters, a Silver Tazza, and Glassware

The still life presents a horizontal arrangement on a dark wooden table, featuring oysters on silver plates, a large glass of wine, and an ornate silver tazza lying on its side among coins and other small objects. Light emphasizes the reflective surfaces of metal and glass, creating bright highlights on the shells, rims, and curved contours against a muted brown background. The painting exemplifies Willem Claesz. Heda's 17th-century still-life style with a restrained palette, meticulous texture rendering, and a balanced, contemplative composition.
