"Pewter Plates with Opened Oysters, Two Mackerel, a Bun, Oyster Shells, a Bag of Tobacco, Matches, a White Clay Pipe, a Berkemeier of White Wine" is a still life painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten. This 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 culinary and social habits of the time.

The composition features an assortment of items carefully arranged to display both luxury and the everyday. Pewter plates, a material commonly used for tableware in the period, hold freshly opened oysters, a delicacy suggesting a level of affluence. Accompanying the oysters are two mackerel, a staple fish in Dutch cuisine, and a simple bun, representing more modest sustenance. The inclusion of oyster shells and a bag of tobacco, along with matches and a white clay pipe, adds to the narrative of leisure and indulgence. The berkemeier, a type of glass filled with white wine, further complements the scene, inviting the viewer to ponder the social context of the meal.

Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten was known for his detailed and realistic still lifes, often focusing on food and domestic items. His work reflects the Dutch interest in the material culture of the time and contributes to the understanding of the era's aesthetic values and daily life. "Pewter Plates with Opened Oysters, Two Mackerel, a Bun, Oyster Shells, a Bag of Tobacco, Matches, a White Clay Pipe, a Berkemeier of White Wine" not only showcases van Schooten's skill in rendering textures and surfaces but also serves as a historical document, capturing the essence of 17th-century Dutch society.
