Still Life with Fruit and Oysters — Abraham Mignon

Abraham Mignon. Painted 1660 - 1679.

This carefully laid table likely never existed in reality. However, the food items depicted did form part of the meals enjoyed by the wealthy. They washed down fresh fruit and oysters with a glass of fine wine. Despite appearing local, many of the products and raw materials were imported from neighbouring countries. For instance, bread was baked locally, but the used grain came from countries bordering the Baltic Sea.
