A Delft Bowl with Fruit
van Huysum, Michielc.1730
Dulwich Picture Gallery
London, United Kingdom
As noted by F. Meijer, DPG42 and DPG61 are versions of a pair in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, signed by Michael van Huysum, one of which bears the date 1729. The signatures on the Dulwich paintings have both been converted at some time to read 'Jan van Huysum' and in each case the 'M' is now defaced.
