PIETER CLAESZ, Vanitas Still Life,  
Oil on panel
Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg. 
I find the assortment of items in Claesz', Vanitas Still Life, very interesting. The cluster of random objects really catch my attention, especially the globe and the glass goblet. The way the light reflects off of both are very realistic. I also like that you can see a man's reflection in the background through the globe, as well as a scale of the room and a small window to the left.
