HUYSUM, Jan van
(b. 1682, Amsterdam, d. 1749, Amsterdam)

Still-Life

1730s
Oil on canvas, 40 x 32 cm
Private collection

Most of van Huysum's 241 known still-lifes consist of luxuriantly composed flowers in a classicizing vase, standing on a stone plinth or a stone table, often with a bird's nest. However, the present still-life from the painter's latter period contains grapes and a peach on a table-top.
