Still Life with a Bird of Paradise and Other Things is a 1659 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a cluttered table with odd objects. A bird of paradise feather sits next to a small skull, a book, and a fancy hat. A candle and a few tools are scattered around, too. The skull and feather are placed close together, which feels strange. The lighting makes some parts look bright and others dark. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this strong light-and-shadow trick works.
