## Commentary

The picture shows a still-life of a silver tazza and a bread roll on a pewter plate. In the centre of the tazza, the panel is signed with den Uyl&#39;s signature motif of an owl, which played on the Dutch work for owl &#34;uil,&#34; and was incorporated into almost all of his known works.
