A classic and atmospheric still life featuring a copper or brass cooking pot with a handle and a pewter pitcher with a hinged lid, placed on a wooden table against a tiled background
The powerful and sharp lines, the materiality, texture, and reflections of the metal objects are characteristic of the artist
Signed in the lower right corner with his distinctive signature “Ach Van Sassenbrouck”
Van Sassenbrouck (1886–1979) belonged to the Bruges School

Noteworthy is the green patina in the deeper grooves
This gives the frame an antique character
