Still-Life
by SNYDERS, Frans, Oil on canvas, 95 x 139 cm
This still-life contains fruit in a basket together with game, a bowl of fraises-de-bois, artichokes, asparagus and a squirrel upon a table draped with a red cloth. Many of the elements found in the present work recur in numerous other signed works dated from the second half of the 1630s. The central basket of fruit with the animated squirrel appears e.g. in the still-life in the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, Cologne.
