This work is also in the collection of Poland’s last king, Stanislas Auguste, and is also attributed to van Deynum. A very similar work attributed to the latter is conserved at the Orleans Fine Arts museum. There are two other versions of this painting falsely attributed to Jan Davidsz de Heem, whose work was often copied by van Deynum (Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York and a private collection). Whatever its origin, the interest of this work lies in the numerous depictions of fruit and glass bowls beloved of the Flemish masters.
