Winkel & Magnussen, Copenhagen, 28 September 1938, lot 24, 'The picture is well preserved and is one of the artist's best productions' (4,500 crowns to Hagemann). Hofjagermeister G.A. Hagemann, Bjersj”lm, and by descent to the present owner. LITERATURE P. Gammelbo, Dutch Still Life Paintings from the 16th to the 18th Century in Danish Collections, Copenhagen, 1960, p. 44, no. 46. EXHIBITION Copenhagen, Fine Arts Club, 1891, no. 32. Luund, Skanska Kunstmuseum, Gamla Holl„ndere; Skƒnska Hem, 1953, no. 12. NOTES Last published by Gammelbo in 1960 ( loc. cit. ), the present work joins six other pictures from 1646 (all on a horizontal format) listed by Vroom (N.R.A. Vroom, A Modest Message..., Schiedam, 1980, p. 32, nos. 127-132). In a letter of 6 August 1995 to the present owner, Dr. Martina Brunner-Bulst deemed the present picture one of the most beautiful works from the mature period ('sicher zu den sch”nsten Werken des Malers aus seiner reifen Schaffensphase geh”rt'), an observation that she has recently confirmed on the basis of a transparency. The picture will be included in her forthcoming catalogue raisonn‚ of the artist's oeuvre due for publication towards the end of this year.
