ATTRIBUTED TO LOUISE MOILLON | STILL LIFE OF A BASKET OF GRAPES WITH A CUT POMEGRANATE RESTING ON A TABLE

This fruit still life has compositional similarities with many of Moillon's works, although the configuration of the panel suggests that it is a fragment of a larger horizontal painting. Pentimenti can be seen around the pomegranate, indicating the artist changed the position of the fruit. The panel itself comes from Antwerp, as indicated by the panel maker's mark of hands on the reverse. Artists working in Paris, where Moillon was active, often imported panels from Antwerp.
