"An upturned silver tazza and a partially peeled lemon on a pewter platter" is a notable still life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Willem Claesz. Heda, renowned for his mastery in depicting sumptuous banquet scenes with a high degree of realism. This particular work exemplifies Heda's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, capturing the interplay of light on different materials, and his subtle use of color. The painting is a quintessential example of the 'ontbijtjes' or 'breakfast pieces' genre, which often featured food and tableware as a means to display wealth and the transience of earthly pleasures.

The composition centers on a richly detailed silver tazza, an ornate shallow wine cup, which has been upturned to showcase its reflective qualities and intricate craftsmanship. Adjacent to it lies a partially peeled lemon, its vibrant peel curling on a pewter platter, demonstrating Heda's ability to depict the tactile qualities of organic and inorganic objects. The artwork is imbued with symbolic meanings, common in Dutch still lifes, where luxury items and foodstuffs often alluded to the vanitas theme – a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the futility of indulgence.

Willem Claesz. Heda (1594–1680) was a Haarlem-based artist who specialized in this type of still life, and his works are characterized by a subdued palette, often dominated by browns, greys, and silvers, which further accentuate the play of light and shadow. "An upturned silver tazza and a partially peeled lemon on a pewter platter" is a testament to Heda's meticulous attention to detail and his contribution to the development of still life painting in the 17th century. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an artifact of the cultural and social history of the period.
