A Still life of shrimps and peeled lemon on silver platters, with a loaf of bread, lemons, wine goblets and a silver beaker oil on panel 50 x 65cmFootnote: Provenance: Believed to have been acquired at a rectory house sale in Essex in the 1950s and presumed to have been on the consignment and thus unsold in 1964 (see exhibited) Exhibited: Leonard Koetser Gallery, 'Autumn Exhibition of Flemish, Dutch and Italian Old Masters', 1964, no. 10, as 'Attributed to Jan Davidsz. de Heem' We are grateful to Dr Fred Meijer for his assistance with this catalogue entry.Condition report: Oil on panel. The panel has had a cradle fitted to the reverse which appears fairly recent. There are also small fillets of wood attached to all four edges of the panel, possibly with fill and retouching over the edges to smooth the transition. The original panel appears to have been made from three boards in horizontal alignment, judging by the cracks in the paint layer. The paint layer is stable overall. There is extensive retouching in the background covering areas of old damage. The overpaint has darkened with age and has a slightly pink hue, noticeable around the glass cup at the centre of the composition. The cracks along the panel joins have also been retouched. The varnish is glossy, even and yellowed. Christie's stencil NP531
