What does the The Metropolitan Museum of Art write about the work of art created by Willem Kalf? (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

The Chinese porcelain bowl and Turkish carpet in this still life would both have been luxurious imports, here nonchalantly placed with wine and fruit on a wooden table. The bowl, a lemon peel spilling over its lip, balances on a piece of bread, animating the static arrangement of the objects. According to Gerard de Lairesse, a painter and writer of the next generation, Kalf "surpassed others in still life," although "he never . . . knew how to explain his images, why he depicted this or that, but simply [painted] whatever took his fancy."

In 1659 Willem Kalf made this baroque work of art with the title Still Life with Fruit, Glassware, and a Wanli Bowl. The 360 year old work of art was made with the size - 23 x 20 in (58,4 x 50,8 cm) and was painted on the medium oil on canvas. Furthermore, the artwork is included in the The Metropolitan Museum of Art's digital art collection. With courtesy of - The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Maria DeWitt Jesup Fund, 1953 (public domain). Also, the artwork has the following creditline: Maria DeWitt Jesup Fund, 1953.

The Baroque artist lived for 74 years, born in 1619 in Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands and deceased in 1693 in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands.
