This piece by Flemish painter, Willem Claesz Heda, is an exquisitely precise and dramatic still-life of an ordinary scene of the remnants of a banquet and unfinished food. The impressive rendering of light on the white silk, metal goblets, and glass really provides the viewer with a keen sense of what materials are portrayed.
The eye is drawn to the area of the open silver lid of the jar, with the brightest light shining on it, slightly to the left where three goblets are amassed together.
