Still Life with a Gilt Cup 1635

by Willem Claesz Heda

The range of grey tonalities that Willem Heda could paint is astounding. With this subtle palette, he deftly
rendered the objects – of pewter, silver, damask, glass and mother-of-pearl – on this table. A few yellow and ochre accents compliment this refined interplay of colours. Heda specialized in near monochromatic still lifes, so-called ‘tonal banquet pieces’.
