Expertise von Laurens Bol (Dordrecht Museum, 1983) beigegeben.
Grüne und leicht rötliche Trauben sowie ein Pfirsich und eine geöffnete Walnuss auf einer Marmorplatte abgelegt, dahinter hochziehendes Weinblattwerk vor schwarzem Hintergrund. Das Gemäde ist, wie in dieser Zeit üblich, neben der ästhetischen Wirkung als Stillleben auch als Vanitassymbol zu deuten, darauf weißt eindeutig die geöffnete Nussschale, sowie die, das Obst zur Fäulnis bringenden Insekten wie Schmetterling und Fliege auf der Pfirsichhaut hin. Das Stillleben präsentiert damit sämtliche Vanitaselemente.
Provenienz:
Sammlung Mr. & Mrs. L. Salavin, Paris.
Palais Galléria, sale Dez. 1973, no. 1 abgebildet.

Willem van Aelst,
1627 Utrecht/ Delft - 1683 Amsterdam
STILL LIFE OF FRUIT
Oil on canvas. Relined.
47 x 38 cm.
Accompanied by an expert’s report by Laurens Bol (Dordrecht Museum, 1983).
Depiction of green and slightly red grapes, one peach and a slightly open walnut laid on a marble top, with a vine climbing up behind it against a black background. Apart from its aesthetic effect, the composition can also be interpreted as symbols of vanitas as was customary at the time: the slightly opened nutshell along with the insects, butterfly and fly on the peach skin cause the fruit to decay.
Provenance:
Collection of Mr & Mrs L. Salavin, Paris.
