"Pewter Plates with Opened Oysters, Two Mackerel, A Bun, Oystershells, A Bag of Tobacco, Matches, A White Clay Pipe, A Berkemeier of White Wine, A Red Earthenware Brazier with Embers and A Pewter Oval Tobacco Tin on a Wooden Table" is a still life painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten. This elaborate work exemplifies the genre of ontbijtjes, or breakfast pieces, which were popular in the Netherlands during the 17th century. Van Schooten's painting is a meticulous depiction of a laid table, showcasing an array of objects that offer a glimpse into the domestic life and material culture of the time.

The composition is rich in detail and symbolism, with each element carefully chosen and rendered to convey not only aesthetic beauty but also to reflect on the social and moral attitudes of the era. Pewter plates and a pewter tobacco tin, luxury items at the time, suggest a certain level of affluence, while the opened oysters and mackerel may allude to the Dutch prowess in fishing and trade. The inclusion of a white clay pipe and tobacco, alongside the matches and brazier, points to the rituals of smoking, which was a common leisure activity in the period.

Van Schooten's skillful use of light and texture brings a tactile quality to the painting, inviting viewers to contemplate the variety of surfaces, from the gleaming pewter and glass to the rough oystershells and the soft glow of the embers. The berkemeier, a type of wine glass, with its translucent contents, demonstrates the artist's ability to capture the play of light through liquid and glass.

This painting not only serves as a testament to van Schooten's technical prowess but also provides a window into the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with still life as a means to explore the interplay between the transient pleasures of life and the reminder of its impermanence. The artwork is a significant contribution to the still life genre, offering insight into the cultural and historical context of 17th-century Netherlands.
