Still Life with Fruit, Plates and Dishes on a Turkey Carpet is a 1665 unspecified by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a table covered with a red-and-blue Turkish carpet. On it: a Chinese bowl of apples, a golden cup, silver plates, a loaf of bread, a glass of wine with a lemon peel floating in it, grapes, a pear, and a big porcelain vase in the back. This painting was made to show off. The carpet, the Chinese bowl, the golden cup—all were expensive imports. Even the lemon peel in the wine was a luxury. Someone wanted you to know they owned these things. Look up more Dutch still lifes at the Rijksmuseum.
