Provenance
Sale, Sotheby's, London, 28 March 1979, lot 61

Born in Antwerp in 1623, Joris van Son became a member of the guild of Saint Luke there in 1643. Heavily influenced by the work of Jan Davidsz. De Heem (Utrecht 1606-1684 Antwerp), van Son most likely encountered the work of de Heem in his native city during his formative years. Van Son's fruit still lifes, such as the present painting, are particularly indebted to the elder artist's work although van Son's works are characterised by a softer, more suffused lighting.

A similar arrangement of the oysters, lower left, with the grapes behind, appears in a further work by van Son of two years earlier, which was offered at Sotheby's, London, 10 April 2013, lot 41.
