Description
- Jacob van Es
- Still life with meat pies, a roast fowl, olives, capers and strawberries in blue and white porcelain bowls, a tazza with grapes, a roemer filled with wine, a ceramic jug and other items, all on a wood table
- oil on panel
- 24 3/8 by 40 1/4 in.; 62 by 102.2 cm.
Condition
Oil on panel. The panel had been cradled with 5 vertical wood blocks adhered to the reverse, each with small horizontal supports. The picture surface is clean and fresh. There are two horizontal panel breaks - one extending through the grapes on the tazza and the other extending through the pie, just above the letter "B" and the bowl of raspberries. Under UV light, the varnish fluoresces green and obscures the majority of the panel. There are small scattered dots of retouching visible over the varnish along the upper and lower edge and very faintly across the previously mentioned panel cracks.
