Still-Life of Grapes

Preyer's style was influenced by 17th- and 18th-century still-life painters such as Abraham Mignon, Willem van Aelst, and Jan van Huysum. His particular specialty was the present type of work: small-scale fruit still-lifes of the utmost refinement, technical precision, and attention to naturalistic detail.
