"A 'roemer' of white wine, crabs, cherries and lemons on a wooden ledge" is a still life painting by Flemish artist Alexander Adriaenssen (1587–1661). Adriaenssen, who was born and active in Antwerp, is known for his contributions to the genre of still life painting during the early to mid-17th century. This particular work exemplifies the artist's skill in depicting a variety of textures and surfaces, capturing the interplay of light and shadow, and conveying the material opulence characteristic of Flemish still life paintings of the period.

The painting features a carefully arranged composition of a 'roemer,' a type of glassware commonly used for wine in the 17th century, alongside an array of sumptuous food items including crabs, cherries, and lemons, all set upon a wooden ledge. The 'roemer' itself, with its distinctive fluted stem and rounded bowl, is partially filled with white wine, which catches the light and showcases Adriaenssen's ability to render transparent and reflective surfaces. The juxtaposition of the delicate glass against the organic textures of the seafood and fruit demonstrates the artist's attention to detail and his mastery in portraying the various elements of a banquet scene.

The painting not only serves as a display of Adriaenssen's technical prowess but also reflects the cultural and social context of the time. Such still life works often contained symbolic references to the transience of life and the sensory pleasures of the world, fitting within the broader vanitas tradition in art. The inclusion of perishable items like food and the ephemeral nature of the moment captured in the painting would have resonated with contemporary viewers familiar with these themes.

Alexander Adriaenssen's work is part of the rich tradition of still life painting in the Low Countries, and "A 'roemer' of white wine, crabs, cherries and lemons on a wooden ledge" is a notable example of his contribution to this genre. The painting is significant for its aesthetic qualities, its representation of 17th-century Flemish culture, and its place within the history of European art.
