"Breakfast Piece" is a notable still life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten. The work is an exemplar of the ontbijtjes, or breakfast pieces, a subgenre of still life that flourished in the Netherlands during the 17th century. These paintings typically depict a laid table with an array of food items, utensils, and vessels, representing both the everyday life and the material wealth of the Dutch bourgeoisie of the time.

Van Schooten, who was active in Haarlem between the late 16th and the early 17th centuries, specialized in these types of still lifes, which often included a variety of bread, cheese, fruit, and other fare, arranged in a manner that emphasized both abundance and the transient nature of earthly pleasures. "Breakfast Piece" is characterized by its meticulous attention to texture and detail, from the glistening of a glass to the crumbly texture of bread, showcasing van Schooten's skill in rendering different surfaces and materials.

The painting not only serves as a visual feast but also as a socio-cultural document, reflecting the era's burgeoning trade, affluence, and interest in the domestic sphere. It may also carry moralistic overtones, as many still lifes of the period included symbolic reminders of the brevity of life and the importance of temperance and moderation.

"Breakfast Piece" is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as a representative of the themes and techniques prevalent in Dutch still life painting. It remains an important work for scholars studying the genre and the period, offering insights into the cultural and artistic practices of the Dutch Golden Age.
