PROPERTY FROM A DUTCH PRIVATE COLLECTION
We are grateful to Fred G. Meijer of the R.K.D., The Hague for endorsing the attribution to Van Es on the basis of photographs. Van Es, who spent his entire life in Antwerp, devoted himself solely to still lifes, often of fruit in baskets set on plain ledges, like the present work.
