Nature morte med hummer og citron is a 1667 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a dark, shadowy table with a few simple items. There’s a bunch of oysters in their shells, a lemon cut in half, and a glass that looks empty. The light hits the lemon and oysters, making them stand out against the rest. The lemon’s cut side glows almost white, while the oysters stay mostly dark. The glass and table are fuzzy, like they’re out of focus. It feels quiet and still, like a moment frozen in time. If you like this kind of lighting, look up chiaroscuro.
