A gilded wine cooler with artichokes, wine glasses and a stoneware jug, a silver dish and a bread roll on a draped table,
bears signature and date lower right: ALex . Aderianfen . f . 1647,
oil on canvas, 62 x 82 cm, framed
Provenance:
Collection of Theodoor Van Lerius, Antwerp, before 1881;
sale, Phillips, London, 18 April 1989, lot 71;
with David Koetser, Zurich, 1989;
Private collection, Switzerland

An attribution of the present painting to Frans Ykens (1601 – before 1693) has been suggested by Fred Meijer. Meijer notes the vibrant palette, dramatic lighting and overall quality of the handling the picture, which is in his opinion superior to that of any work by Adriaenssens. Meijer groups the present work with several others, once attributed to Osias Beert (circa 1580–1623). As Ykens was one of Beert’s most gifted pupils, the question of authorship of this refined canvas remains a tantalisingly open art historical question.
