Still life 1676

"Still Life" by Josefa de Óbidos, painted in 1676, showcases the artist's mastery of the still life genre. The composition features a variety of objects, including a bowl of pastries, a vase of flowers, and a box of sweets, all arranged with meticulous detail. The rich colors and textures of the objects, as well as the use of light and shadow, create a sense of realism and depth. De Óbidos was a prominent figure in the Portuguese Baroque period, and her works often explored themes of abundance and beauty. This painting is a testament to her skill as a painter and her ability to capture the essence of everyday objects.
