5. Attributed to Pieter CLAESZ (Berchem, 1597 - Haarlem, 1661) Still life with pewter pitcher, Roemers glasses, currants in a blue and white porcelain cup, crab, loaf of bread and apricots on a tablecloth About 1630. Oil on prepared oak panel, three boards not parqueted. (Wear and restorations). 64,5 x 88,5 cm Reflecting the economic and commercial power of the United Provinces, the set tables (ontbijtje) form an important part of the important part of the still life production. Under a delicate diagonal light coming from the left of the composition, our of the composition, our painting resembles a veritable receptacle of religious messages by presenting consumed elements, echoing the precariousness of life. Each element is a symbol: the currants and the wine reflect the Passion of Christ, while the butterfly symbolizes the Resurrection. Known by a second version held in a private collection, our painting recalls the ingenuity and preciousness of the work of Pieter Claesz. The iconographic repertory presenting a pitcher with a long spout, the inverted porcelain cup placed on the right of the composition are precise elements that can be found in other works of the artist, moreover borrowed a few years later by a few years later by Willem Claeszoon Heda (Haarlem, 1594 - 1680).
