Still life with a broken glass

Still life with a broken glass depicts a quiet, composed arrangement on a flat table. A tall amber glass sits on a dark, intricately worked stand, balanced by a large shell-like metal vessel leaning to the right; in the foreground a small broken glass and pale citrus fragments rest on a plate. The color palette relies on warm browns, golds, and ivory with soft reflections and a subdued, polished atmosphere characteristic of Willem Claesz. Heda’s Dutch Golden Age still-life style.
