Roelof Koets (Haarlem c. 1592/93 - Haarlem 1654). A still life on a table covered with a dark cloth and white napkins.

On the table are a silver platter with a pointed edge on which stand three rummers with conical cuppa's, a fourth lying on its side over the edge of the platter. In the centre are a pewter platter holding a large crab and a spouted ‘Jan Steen' jug, to their right is another pewter platter holding an overturned silver beaker and a half-peeled lemon. Behind it stands a tall ‘flute' wine glass. In the front centre is a bread roll from which some slice appear to have been cut with the ebony-handled knife that lies in front of it. Behind the bread, some olives have been strewn onto the table. The back of the table to the right is filled with bunches of black grapes and their foliage.
