Description
- Frans Snyders
- A still life with a basket of grapes and pears on an ornate carpet

Condition
The support consists of three horizontal panels which are held on the reverse by three vertical and one horizontal batons. There is a slight bow along the lower margin. The panel joins are visible from the front and especially along the upper most join there is extensive restoration. There is further restoration throughout the background but the fruit itself has survived quite well and undergone little interference. The paint surface in general is preserved fairly well. The varnish is patchy and uneven.
