Lot Essay

A hitherto unrecorded version of a picture of similar size in a private collection (L. Salerno, La natura morta italiana, Rome, 1984, p.15, fig.3.7, colour). That picture has a different background landscape and includes a stem of lilies in the barrow at the left; a plate of figs and chestnuts, here shown on the wheel of the barrow, is there depicted on the barrow itself.

A variant, with extensive differences and signed and dated 1583 but again of similar size, was sold at Sotheby's, 9 December 1987, lot 12
(La natura morta in Italia, ed. F. Porzio, Milan, 1989, I, p.218, fig.248; L. Salerno, Nuovi studi su la natura morta italiana, Rome, 1989, p.21, fig.13)
