“Still Life with Cheeses, Almonds and Pretzels” by Clara Peeters
At first glance, the painting by Clara Peeters called “Still Life with Cheeses, Almonds and Pretzels” seems like a very typical still-life. You can see the various assortment of lunch time snacks laid out on the table. But if you look closely at the pewter lid of the jug in the center of the painting, you just might be able to see that Clara Peeters included her hidden self-portrait there. This is actually more impressive than you may think, because she would have had to paint in miniature in order to pull this off as well as she did.
