In the still life, life is still,
Objects poised and motionless
A banquet, frozen in time's chill,
Awaiting feasters, but none to bless.
A morbid beauty, this array
Of food and drink, untouched, unknown
A tale of life, or so they say,
But life's departure here is shown.
The silence echoes, loud and clear
No sounds of laughter, clinking glass
No scents of food to greet the ear
Just stillness, stillness, en masse.
In this tableau, time stands still
The banquet fryst vatten, but not for whom
A lifeless life, a deathly thrill
A monument to time's own tomb.

when in England painted fruit, flowers, and objects of still life; the last being what are called deceptions, consisting of printed titles of almanacks and other periodicals, broken glass, letters with seals, &c.; all worthless, though represented with great truth.
KAALF, or KALF, WILLIAM, was an admirable painter of still life. His pictures are generally of small dimensions and are very highly wrought, with a spirited touch, and clear and sparkling colour. They represent to deception vases and other ornamental furniture of gold and silver. In humbler objects he is equally excellent, as in the utensils of a Dutch boor's habitation and the articles usually found there, particularly the vessels of brass and copper. His management of the chiaroscuro gives value even to the meanest of his subjects. He was born at Amsterdam in , and died there in
