Clara Peeters' Still Life with Cheeses, Almonds and Pretzels isn't just a typical still-life - it holds a hidden detail that makes it special, showcasing her artistry beyond the traditional luxury elements of her era.
Peeters was a significant figure as one of the few women artists working professionally in 17th-century Europe, a time when women faced restrictions in artistic training and guild memberships, yet she rose to prominence as a well-known painter.
The collaboration between Sotheby's Institute of Art and Jux Saturday School sheds light on the intricate additions Clara Peeters incorporated into her work, providing valuable insights into her artistic approach and creativity.
