Clara Peeters – Still life with cheeses, bread, and drinking utensils, 1615
One of the few female painters of that time. She signed her name on a richly decorated bridal knife.
The pewter lid of the earthenware jug reflects the face of a woman wearing a white cap: a tiny self-portrait.

Clara Peeters' 'Still Life with Cheeses, Bread, and Drinking Utensils' is an early 17th-century painting on display at the Mauritshuis in The Hague, The Netherlands.
The work, also known as 'Still Life with Cheeses, Almonds, and Pretzels,' is a banquet, a type of food still life that Peeters specialized in, and depicts rich objects such as cheeses, figs, a Chinese dish, and a gilded Venetian glass. Peeters signed the painting on the handle of a richly decorated bridal knife. The pewter lid of the earthenware jug reflects the face of a woman wearing a white cap: a tiny self-portrait.
