Still Life: A Basket of Grapes and Other Fruit 1635 - 1645

Jacob van Hulsdonck's "Still Life: A Basket of Grapes and Other Fruit" (1635-1645), now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a traditional still life arrangement of fruit. The painting showcases a woven basket brimming with white and purple grapes, peaches, and other fruits, with a peeled lemon and two plums spilling onto a wooden table. Hulsdonck's meticulous attention to detail and realistic depiction of light and shadow enhance the visual appeal of the work.
