Willem Claesz. Heda
1594 – 1680
Heda's earliest dated work is a Vanitas (1621; The Hague, Museum Bredius), which shows a still-life from a high viewpoint, composed of various objects bearing vanitas associations (e. g. a bowl of glowing embers, smoker's requisites, an overturned glass and a skull); the colouring is in brownish-grey tones and represents one of the earliest examples of a Dutch monochrome still-life ('monochrome' refers to the range of tones, rather than of colours).
