About Artwork: (late 1620s) "A French-speaking Lutheran from Strasbourg, Stoskopff worked intermittently in Paris from 1622 to 1641. This spare painting combines a chip-wood box containing dried fruit and fish, a commonplace object in Stoskopff’s time, with costly shells harvested from the Indian and Pacific oceans. Such shells were objects of fascination and sought-after collector’s items at a time of expanding European colonialism in Asia." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
