Vanitas still life, Maria van Oosterwijck
At the center of this composition is a vase of flowers on a stone table. Surrounding the vase is a careful arrangement of symbolic objects. On the left side is a box filled with gold coins. In addition, various objects are displayed: a rattle, a medallion, two oranges and a sprig of roses. We also see a skull decorated with a garland of flowers, a book, a watch, and the two stone tablets on which the ten commandments are engraved. A sunflower completes this collection. In the foreground is a descriptive document naming all the objects depicted, each with a corresponding Biblical reference. In the left background, a window with latticework is visible
