Pronk Still life
Pieter de Ring
1630-1660
Precious silver, Chinese porcelain and Venetian glass placed on a cloth of blue-green silk taffeta: this table is splendidly laid for a small meal consisting of seafood, white wine and fresh strawberries. A scent of lemon mingles with the perfume rising from the rose, reminding us of the boundless beauty of nature.
