Still-Life with Fruit, Glassware, and a Wanli Bowl
by KALF, Willem, Oil on canvas, 58 x 51 cm
The present painting comes from the period when Kalf’s career was flourishing in Amsterdam, the artistic capital of the Netherlands. The composition, in its clarity, fine balance, and comparative simplicity, is typical of Kalf’s style during the second half of the 1650s.
