"A Trompe l'oeil Still Life of an Engraving of King Charles II, Newspapers, Feathers, a Compass, a Sealing Wax Stick, a Scroll and a Pair of Glasses" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Edwaert Collier, also known as Evert Collier. This painting exemplifies the trompe l'oeil ("deceive the eye") genre, a style intended to trick the viewer into believing that the depicted objects are real rather than two-dimensional representations. Collier's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of light and shadow create an illusion of depth and texture that challenges the viewer's perception of reality.

The painting features an assortment of objects that would have been familiar in the 17th century, arranged in a manner that suggests a casual, yet deliberate, snapshot of a moment in time. Central to the composition is an engraving of King Charles II, surrounded by items that reflect the intellectual and political life of the era: newspapers, which may hint at the importance of the emerging press; feathers and a sealing wax stick, tools associated with correspondence; a compass, symbolizing navigation or scientific endeavor; a scroll, perhaps representing learning or official documents; and a pair of glasses, indicating scholarship or the need for careful examination.

Collier's work not only showcases his technical skill but also serves as a commentary on the nature of art and perception. By including objects of contemporary significance, the painting also provides historical insight into the cultural and political milieu of the time. The inclusion of King Charles II's image, in particular, may suggest a commentary on the Restoration period in England, during which the monarchy was re-established after the tumultuous era of the Commonwealth.

This painting is a testament to Collier's ability to engage viewers with a visual puzzle while simultaneously offering a rich tapestry of symbolic meanings and historical references. It stands as a fine example of trompe l'oeil artistry, inviting ongoing appreciation and analysis.
