Larder with Circular Meat Rack is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a still life of a larder with a circular meat rack. The rack is filled with various meats, including what appears to be a deer carcass hanging from the top. The room is dimly lit, with a small window in the background that lets in a sliver of light. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The meats on the rack are depicted in warm, earthy tones, while the background is a cool, muted gray. The overall effect is one of quiet, domestic intimacy. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the deer carcass.
