"A lobster, shrimps and vine leaves in a Wanli 'kraak' porcelain bowl, a roemer, oysters and a loaf of bread on a partially draped table" is a still life painting by the Flemish artist Christian Luycks, who was active during the 17th century. Luycks, born in 1623 in Antwerp and died in 1670, was known for his detailed and sumptuous still life compositions, which often featured an array of luxurious and meticulously rendered objects. This particular work exemplifies the opulence and attention to detail that characterize Luycks' oeuvre.

The painting showcases a rich assortment of food items and tableware, arranged on a partially draped table. At the center of the composition is a Wanli 'kraak' porcelain bowl, a type of Chinese export porcelain that was highly prized in Europe during the 17th century. The bowl contains a lobster, shrimps, and vine leaves, highlighting the exotic and luxurious nature of the items depicted. Surrounding the bowl are other elements of a lavish meal: a roemer, which is a type of German wine glass, oysters, and a loaf of bread. The careful arrangement and the interplay of textures and colors create a sense of abundance and indulgence.

Luycks' skillful use of light and shadow enhances the realism of the scene, drawing attention to the intricate details of the objects, such as the glistening shells of the oysters and the delicate translucency of the porcelain bowl. The partially draped tablecloth adds a dynamic element to the composition, with its folds and creases contributing to the overall sense of depth and realism.

This painting not only reflects the wealth and sophistication of its intended audience but also serves as a testament to the global trade networks of the time, which brought exotic goods from distant lands to European tables. Through his meticulous technique and keen eye for detail, Christian Luycks has created a work that captures the essence of 17th-century Flemish still life painting, celebrating both the material culture and the artistic achievements of the period.
