Stilleven met dode vogels, vruchten en servies 1670 - 1724

"Stilleven met dode vogels, vruchten en servies" (Still Life with Dead Birds, Fruit and Tableware) is an etching by Jacob Gole, a Dutch artist known for his intricate still life compositions. Created between 1670 and 1724, the artwork depicts a table laden with various objects, including a hanging bird, a cluster of grapes, a covered dish, and apples. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and shadow, adds depth and realism to the composition. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Gole's mastery in capturing the textures and details of everyday objects, making it a fine example of 17th-century Dutch still life art.
