Still Life with Sweets
Artist	Josefa de Óbidos
Year	1676
Medium	Oil on canvas
Dimensions	84 cm × 160.5 cm (33 in × 63.2 in)
Location	Anselmo Braamcamp Freire collection, Santarém, Portugal

This painting shows a sumptuous display of sweets in various pottery containers and in the center a silver sugar holder with a gold spoon emphasizes the wealth of this dessert spread. Far from normal, such a spread would have been beyond reach of most townspeople and the artist herself at that time and was either meant to represent an ideal holiday feast or was commissioned by a wealthy patron. The "Bodegón" style is reminiscent of earlier dessert displays by Juan van der Hamen and others of the Spanish school a generation before her.
