His calm light, however, carries no strong symbolic charge and gives his still-lifes, which are devoid of both triviality and deep significance, the charm of pure art. ## Related artworks - [Portrait of a Young Man in a Fur Hat]() - [Still-Life with Beer, Herring and Pipe]() - [Tronie of a Young Man]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
