About the piece

Attributed to 'the other' Jan van Kessel around 1700, this exquisite oil painting exemplifies the Dutch and Flemish tradition of opulent still lifes. A sulfur-crested cockatoo and smaller songbirds are nestled amongst an abundance of seasonal fruits—from translucent grapes and cherries to ripening peaches—arranged in decorative swags that stand out against the deep, atmospheric background.
