Follower of Jacob van Walscapelle (1644-1727) Dutch An abundant still life with silver plate and spoon, a cut lemon, oysters, wild strawberries, a vine and grapes, pink Roses, cherries, and glassware, with butterflies and insects Oil on panel, 40cm by 33cm Frame size: 54cm by 47.5cm The panel is one single board, with a horizontal batten in the middle of the back, minor old knocks to all sides, and canvas stuck to the back of the panel. There are no splits visible, and the panel is held flat in the frame.There is a fine brittle age craquelure throughout, all stable with no elevation or history of flaking. In passages the cracks are wider, and these have been suppressed in a campaign of retouching, slightly discoloured (see images). The cracks are most evident in raking light and a higher concentration through the table top and plate. Small scattered retouchings to suppress the cracks in the background, and small retouched losses to the right of the righthand glass, further retouched losses in the left hand glass, and above this near the top edge. A small newer unretouched loss to the left of the lefthand glass. There is a diagonal line of retouching running towards the top left corner from the top of the vineleaf, a retouched loss to the end of the vineleafe above the grapes and further small scattered minor retouched losses. Some retouching to cracks in strawberrys, lemon, and a small filling and retouching to the right end of the cherry stem. There is a larger brown retouching above the oyster.Possibly some minor losses to the delicate glazes, but mostly intact.There is what appears to be a retouched or removed? signature or inscription above the butterfly on the left. Visible clearly in UV (see images) and as a pale milky patch in normal light. Wipe marks in the varnish bottom left and right. An old varnish layer, slighly opaque in places.Examined in frame.
Manner of Willem Kalf (1619-1693) Dutch A still life of a silver platter with olives, a peeled lemon, an oriental bowl and cover, a roemer, and a bowl of fruit on a table draped with a tapestryOil on canvas, 57cm by 70cmA fairly rigid lining, one key damaged in stetcher. Good tension, but slight separation of lining canvas at corners at reverse. Widespread brittle age and impact craquelure throughout, made more prominent by white dust highlighting cracks. Possibly where varnish has powdered as paint has moved/lifted very slightly. Some slight elevation/cupping, with larger cracks in the green curtain. All appear secure. Some slighly matt broad brushstrokes of overpaint in loop of green curtain. Difficult to see quite what is happening in the background due to thick old varnish, but possibly some futher overpaint, particularly to the top left edge. Slightly opaque varnish and a thicker yellowed old varnish partially removed in the lighter passages of paint. Slighly uneved surface gloss. Surface dirt, and layer of dust and debris.
