Special notice

Christie's charges a Buyer's premium calculated at 23.205% of the hammer price for each lot with a value up to €110,000. If the hammer price of a lot exceeds €110,000 then the premium for the lot is calculated at 23.205% of the first €110,000 plus 11.9% of any amount in excess of €110,000. Buyer's Premium is calculated on this basis for each lot individually.

Lot Essay

The attribution was first suggested by Dr. Sam Segal, who compares the present picture with similar large kitchen pieces by Van Winghen: for example, that, signed and dated 1613, in the Historisches Museum, Frankfurt, and another, signed and dated 1615, in a private collection (see C. Grimm, Stilleben. Die Niederländischen und Deutschen Meister, Stuttgart, 1988, p. 201, fig. 201). Mr. F. Meijer of the RKD does not support the attribution to Van Winghen.
