Ontbijtjes

A type of still life depicting simple foodstuffs, such as fish, ham, fruit, cheese, or bread, with a glass of beer or wine. Though ontbijtje is Dutch for "little breakfast," paintings categorized as such do not necessarily depict items of a typical Dutch breakfast; the foodstuffs depicted are those that would be consumed at a light meal at any time of day. Ontbijtje were especially popular in the Netherlands during the 1620s and 1630s.
