Ein Frühstück is a 1643 oil by Thomas van Apshoven, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting features a still life of fruit and shells on a table. The arrangement includes a large glass of wine, a bunch of grapes, and various fruits and shells. The objects are depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with the light source coming from the left side. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds to the overall realism of the scene. For more information on this style of painting, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
