Mand met vruchten 1767 - 1780

"Mand met vruchten" (Basket with Fruits) is a 1767 - 1780 etching by Dutch artist Bernhard Schreuder. The artwork depicts a still life featuring a basket overflowing with various fruits, including grapes, apples, and pears, alongside leafy greens. Schreuder was known for his meticulous attention to detail, evident in the realistic depiction of the fruit’s textures and the subtle play of light and shadow. This work is a prime example of the Dutch tradition of still life painting, which emphasized the beauty of ordinary objects and the transience of life. Today, the etching is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
