Catalogue Note

The fact that this monogram appears on more similar still lifes, indicates that this is an independent artist and the monogram not a falsification of a Cornelis de Heem-monogram. See also another similar Still life with apples and grapes on a table, signed in monogram and dated 1665, which was in a sale, Brussels, Galerie Georges Giroux, 16-18 May 1927, lot 12.
