This painting exemplifies the Dutch still life genre known as 'ontbijtjes' or 'breakfast pieces,' which often featured food and drink.

In the painting, a roemer (a type of wine glass with a thick, ornately designed stem that was popular in the Netherlands during the 17th century) is prominently displayed next to an overturned goblet, suggesting a recent or interrupted moment of enjoyment. The oysters, considered a luxury at the time, are meticulously rendered on a pewter plate, further emphasizing the theme of transient indulgence that is common in Dutch still life paintings.
