About the piece

Painted by Albert Eckhout around 1650, this remarkable work serves as both a genre scene and an extensive botanical study. It showcases a rich abundance of exotic fruits—including pineapples, bananas, and durian—arranged before figures engaged in trade, while a striking white cockatoo watches from its perch. Eckhout's meticulous attention to texture and form reflects the 17th-century European fascination with global flora and fauna.
