Still Life with Fruit and a Lobster is a 1670 unspecified by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a table covered in fruit: grapes, peaches, a peeled lemon, and a bright red lobster. A garland of fruit hangs on the wall behind it. Tiny insects and snails crawl between the food. This painting is a copy of an older work in Dresden. The artist added small details—like the snails—to make it feel alive. It’s not just about food; it’s about time, since fruit rots and lobsters don’t stay fresh. Look up more still lifes at the Rijksmuseum to see how other artists painted everyday objects.
