On an oak table stands a blue china dish full of peaches. Behind it to the right are a bunch of white grapes, and a spray of peach. On the edge of the table to the right are cherries and cherry- leaves. To the left is a green currant-branch with leaves and fruit. Above it, to the left, is a butterfly. There are drops of water on the peaches and on the table. A dark grey background. Note. The catalogue of 1892 described this picture and the following as of the Dutch School, 1650-1700. The Backer picture (826), however, con- firms the attribution to A. Cuyp. Similar pictures, mostly signed with the monogram, occur at the Aachen Museum and elsewhere. The attributions to A. Coosemans, A. Calraet, and other artists with the same initials, are all wrong. Signed in the right-hand bottom corner, A. C. ; panel, 14 inches by 1 8 inches. In the Boymans collection, Utrecht. In the Boymans Museum, Rotterdam, 1907 catalogue, No. 61 (old No. 124). 830. FRUIT AND MUSSELS. To the left, on a grey stone plinth, five peaches and red and white grapes are heaped up. To the right white grapes lie amidst mussels. A fly on a peach is very naturally painted ; there are also three butterflies. The background is dark. [See note to 829.] This is certainly by Cuyp. Panel, 19^ inches by 24 inches. In the Boymans collection, Utrecht. In the Boymans Museum, Rotterdam, 1907 catalogue, No. 62 (old No. 125).
