The painting, which depicts a still-life with fruit and flowers, together with oysters, mussels, a glass of wine and a decanter, is signed lower left: J Van Os Fecit.
Van Os's asymmetrically composed pyramidal still lifes are often set on a marble or stone ledge against a pale green landscape background, and as such echo the style of Jan van Huysum. The present picture is a fine example of his work.
