Still Life with Oysters and Grapes is a 1653 unspecified by Jan Davidsz. de Heem, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting shows a table with a blue cloth, holding various foods and objects. There are oysters, grapes, lemons, and bread. A large silver jug and two silver cups sit on the table, along with a few coins. A butterfly is perched on the edge of the table, near the jug. The background is a plain wall. The foods and objects on the table are arranged in a way that creates a sense of abundance and luxury. The use of silver cups and a jug adds to the feeling of wealth and opulence. The artist who created this still life is Jan Davidsz. de Heem.
Maria van Oosterwijck (1630–1693), also spelled Oosterwyck, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, specialising in richly detailed flower paintings and other still lifes.
