I would like to thank Dr. Fred Meijer, who has given us the correct attribution 10/09/25.
Our painting is registered at the RKD, The Hague, under the numbers 113783/84 and 402970.
Delff, what’s in a name, was born in Gouda, just as his father, who was a portrait painter. Both worked almost all their lifes in Delft. Our fabulous painting dates from the first half of Delff’s career, when he specialised in rich market and kitchen still lifes, in which human figures were regularly incorporated. Later in his career he solely focussed his attention on the effects of light on metal kitchen vessels. This interest is already visible in the left part of our painting, in the magnificently painted copper kitchen ware. Delff’s paintings, which are rare, are sought after.
