A substantial framed piece intended to anchor a room — not a small wall accent.
A large-scale reproduction of Jan Davidszoon de Heem's celebrated Dutch still life, presented in an ornate gilded wooden frame.
Chosen for its richness, abundance, and quiet drama, this piece brings warmth and gravitas to a dining room, kitchen, or living space.
The substantial frame gives the work presence beyond the image itself, allowing it to function as a statement object-grounded, classical, and enduring.
curator note: This is a pronkstillevens (Dutch for "ostentatious still life"). They typically depict a wide variety of objects, fruits, flowers and inanimate animals, often accompanied by live human and animal figures. The genre was developed in the 1640s in Antwerp from where it spread quickly to the Dutch Republic.

This work reproduces a Dutch pronkstilleven — a style of still life painting developed in 17th-century Antwerp and embraced in the Dutch Republic. These compositions were intended to convey abundance, craftsmanship, and the pleasure of domestic life. The substantial gilded frame gives the piece presence beyond the image itself, allowing it to function as an architectural element within a room rather than simply wall décor. It reads particularly well in dining spaces, kitchens, and traditional living areas where warmth and visual weight are desired.
Condition: Vintage-style framed reproduction.Minor wear consistent with display and handling may be present and is considered part of the character of the piece.
Placement Notes: Works well above a buffet, sideboard, mantel, or entry console where a single object should anchor the room.
