F.G. Meijer, Jan Davidsz. de Heem 1606-1684, Amsterdam 2016 (https://hdl.handle.net/11245/1.532985), p. 42, under cat. no. A034 (as Follower of De Heem, mid-17th-century?).

We are grateful to Dr Fred G. Meijer for dating this painting to circa 1631, based on its similarities, in style and composition, to the early work of Jan Davidsz. de Heem. The right-hand side of the design, for example, replicates the upright painting formerly in the Lazaro collection Madrid.1
