## Commentary

The picture shows a still-life with peaches, apricots and grapes in a wicker basket, with a melon, a pear, an orange and other fruit, all upon a stone ledge. Apparently an infant prodigy, Johannes Bosschaert is presumed to have died young, since no trace of him has yet been found after 1628. Nine of around twenty-one undisputed works by Johannes, mostly horizontal in format, are dated between 1624 and 1627 when the artist was yet a teenager, into which period the present painting must also fall. The painting is signed with initials lower right: J B .fe·
