Description
Heda and Pieter Claesz were the creators and masters of the Breakfast pieces (Ointbijtjes is Dutch for small breakfast), these pieces were displayed objects made of silver, pewter, etc, very detailed, but lacked color or the sense of lush, exoticism that characterized later works. They were mostly almost monochromatic; due to the limited color palette used most of these pieces were quite similar. There is also a theory out there that they used these colors because they were economic and also, by limiting the color palette the painters could increase their profit. A typical breakfast in Holland at the time included wheat or sometimes white bread, butter, pickled herring, cheese, fried fish. This image is inspired by the works of the Dutch masters of Still Life.
