About this work
Various types of fruit are arranged in a basket on a stone table. These include bunches of red and white grapes, currents, apricots, peaches, chestnuts, cherries and raspberries. Insects are crawling among the fruit and there is even a snail. Van Walscapelle employed a marvellously colourful pallet and rendered the fruit with remarkable feeling for texture.
