STILL LIFE WITH A ROEMER, FRUIT, PORCELAIN AND A DISH OF OLIVES ALL ON A TABLE DRAPED WITH A CARPET
oil on canvas

Anonymous sale, New York, Christie's, 15 January 198𓄧6, where unsold (as by Juriaen van Streeck).
We are grateful to Dr. Fred Meijer for proposing the attribution to Baren🐻d van der Meer and dating this still life to the mid-1680s. The motifs of the porcelain and Turkish carpet are most likely inspired by the work of Willem Kalf (1619 - 1693) and speak to the wealth of imported 🧸goods brought to the Netherlands via maritime trade.
