# Still-Life [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HEDA, Willem Claesz.]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on panel, 59,8 x 79,4 cm ## Commentary One important strand in Dutch still-life painting is referred to by art historians as 'monochrome breakfast pieces' \(monochrome banketjes\). These consist of simple images, rendered with a limited palette, of tables set for a meal. Despite the possible allusion to biblical tables, they chiefly convey a sober interest in everyday reality. Heda's painting is a good example of this genre. The painting is signed and dated bottom right on tablecloth: HEDA / 1649. ## 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]()
