About this work

A still life painting shows opened oysters in their shells, a halved lemon with its peel curling across a draped cloth, a knife with a dark handle, and a whole apple at the right beside a stemmed glass with a ribbed base. The dark olive background sets the objects in a quiet, shadowy space. Jacob van Es painted this work in 1601, and it is held by the Museo del Prado.
