The traditional principle of depicting isolated bowls, baskets and vases can also be found in the paintings of Osias Beert. He enjoyed placing a raised silver bowl with sugar confectionery or a loaf of marzipan in the centre. One example is his Stuttgart still-life, which also contains a tin plate full of oysters in the top left corner, as well as olives floating in oil and a ceramic vessel as big as a saucepan filled with chestnuts, and lemons at the front.
