Still-Life with Pie, Silver Ewer and Crab
by HEDA, Willem Claesz., Oil on canvas, 103 x 123 cm
The painting is a so-called sumptuous or luxurious still-life. Heda’s still-lifes gradually became fuller after 1640: the number of objects grew and they stood closer together. The colours also became richer. Heda was a master at rendering different reflections of light.
