# Still-Life [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HEDA, Willem Claesz.]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 53 x 67 cm ## Commentary This signed and dated still-life of oysters, a nautilus cup, a roemer, lemon and other objects is a mature work by Heda, incorporating several of the objects and props that fill a number of works from preceding years, such as the elaborate mother-of-pearl nautilus cup. In late works such as this Heda has clearly abandoned the monochrome banketjes that dominated his youth and early maturity, towards the more sumptuous pronk still-lifes popularised by Jan Davidsz. de Heem and Willem Kalf. ## Related artworks - [Breakfast of Crab \(detail\)]() - [Breakfast of Crab]() - [Breakfast Still-Life]() - [Breakfast Table with Blackberry Pie \(detail\)]() - [Breakfast Table with Blackberry Pie]() - [Ham and Silverware]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
