Specialist note

This pair of still lifes can be added to a group of pictures, mostly on copper and some on walnut panels, made in the style of Jan van Kessel II. Fred Meijer, of the RKD, The Hague, to whom we are grateful, has proposed this group be attributed to the 'Pseudo Jan van Kessel II', an artist who was most likely working in southern Europe, probably Italy, during the 17th century.
