Gooseberries on a Table, 1701. Rather than expensive rarities, Adriaen Coorte devoted himself to the precise rendering of a few simple objects, inviting appreciation for the beauty of the everyday. Strong illumination highlights the veins of the leaves and the irregularities in the stone shelf, and gives the gooseberries a delicate translucency.
