Catalogue Note
This painting replicates, with some minor differences and from a higher perspective, the composition by Snijders, today in the Begijnhof, Antwerp.1 A smaller version of that painting, attributed to Snijders' Studio and in the Staatliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe, depicts only the left-hand and central parts of the still-life arrangement.2 Both these works are painted from a lower viewpoint, whereas the still life in the present painting is seen from above. 1. Oil on canvas, 117.4 x 176 cm.; see the RKD website: //rkd.nl/explore/images/275610.
