Still life with glasses and fruit is a 1663 oil by Willem Kalf, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Fruit, held at National Gallery of Victoria.
This painting is a still life featuring glasses and fruit. The arrangement includes a glass of red wine, a peeled lemon, and a whole orange, all placed on a table. The objects are depicted in a dark room, with the only light source coming from the left side of the image. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The shadows cast by the objects add to the overall mood of the piece, which is one of quiet contemplation.
