Kitchen Still Life, 1651. Foodstuffs and utensils are scattered in complex disorder on a rough table of the sort found in almost any kitchen. Fish, vegetables and fruit surround a basin, a cauldron and a pot, along with other similar elements that appear to have been left there with the intention of making stew in the very near future. The painting was originally thought to be by Antonio de Pereda. However, notwithstanding its approximate resemblance to Pereda's creations, a convincing attribution has yet to be encountered.
