Banquet Piece with Mince Pie

A banquet left at its best moment.

What

A mince pie, silver, pewter and glasses of wine on a white cloth, the meal left just as the guests rose.

Why

Heda made the Haarlem breakfast piece into the grandest of tables: silver, pewter and glass in a dozen shades of grey.

Notice

The light running across the silver and the pewter.

“The finest moment of a feast is the one just after.”
