About this work

This painting shows a still life of peaches in a porcelain bowl. The bowl is white with a brown pattern and sits on a wooden table. There are grapes and a walnut on the table, and a butterfly is flying near the grapes. The peaches are yellow and orange, and they are piled high in the bowl. The background is dark, which makes the peaches and the bowl stand out. If you like this painting, you might also want to learn more about the artist, Abraham van Calraet.
