Still life 

"Still Life" by Willem Kalf, a Dutch Golden Age painter, is a quintessential example of the genre. The painting, now in the Louvre, features an array of carefully arranged objects, including a Chinese porcelain vase, fruit, and a silver plate, all bathed in a soft, muted light. Kalf's meticulous detail and masterful use of chiaroscuro, the interplay of light and shadow, create a sense of depth and realism. This work is characteristic of Kalf's style, which was known for its elegant composition and exquisite depiction of luxurious objects.
