LINTHORST, Jacobus
(b. 1745, Amsterdam, d. 1815, Amsterdam)

Still-Life

-
Oil on panel, 47 x 40 cm
Private collection

The painting shows a still-life of strawberries, grapes, plums and a peach in a basket surrounded by flowers and other fruits and vegetables, all resting on a marble ledge.

Linthorst often used strong whites with thin strokes of colour, thus giving his flowers and fruit a delicate and almost translucent appearance, as can be seen in particular in the grapes in this still-life.
