Catalogue Note

We are grateful to Fred Meijer of the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, The Hague, for confirming the attribution to van Beyeren, based on photographs.

The reflections in the roemers are similar to those in still lifes by Van Beyeren in the collections of the NationalMuseum, Stockholm (see I. Bergström, Dutch Still Life Painting in the Seventeenth Century, London 1956, fig. 203) and in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (see J.G. van Gelder, Catalogue of the Collection of Dutch and Flemish Still-Life Pictures Bequeathed by Daisy Linda Ward, Oxford 1950, no. 9). Van Gelder dates the latter circa 1655-60. Bergström, in private communication to the museum, also compared the present work to a still-life in the Boymans-van-Beuningen, Rotterdam (inv. no. 1051) in terms of both composition and size.
