Tobacco Still Life is a 1637 oil by Willem Claesz Heda, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting shows a still life with a variety of objects on a table. There's a large, shiny, dark jug in the center, with a long handle and a small animal figure on top. To the right is a smaller, clear glass with a little liquid in it. On the left is a brown bowl with some fruit or food inside, and a long, thin pipe is lying across the table. The table is covered with a dark cloth, and there are some other objects scattered around, like a small, round container and a piece of paper with some white stuff on it. The background is a plain, light-colored wall. If you're interested in learning more about still-life paintings, you might want to check out the work of Willem Claesz Heda.
