Literature:
- Jan Kelch und Ingeborg Becker: Holländische Malerei aus Berliner Privatbesitz, exh.cat. Kaiser-Friedrich-Museums-Verein und Gemäldegalerie, Berlin 1984, pp. 130–131, no. 64.
- Fred G. Meijer: Jan Davidsz. de Heem (1606–1684), Amsterdam 2016, p. 163, no. A62 (as attributed to Cornelis de Heem).
Dr Fred G. Meijer dates the present painting, which he examined in the original in 2008, to 1654 and emphasises that it was inspired by Jan Davidsz. de Heem's still lifes from 1652-53, which are now in the National Trust in Tatton Park (inv. no. 1298189) and in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (inv. no. M.86.95). While in his 2016 dissertation Dr Meijer still considered the authorship to be that of the son Cornelis de Heem (1631-1695), he now assumes that it was created in the studio of Jan Davidsz. De Heem, possibly with the involvement of Johannes Hannot (1633-1684).
