- Frans Snyders specialised in still-life and animal painting, including exuberant market and pantry scenes, such as this one. He collaborated with Rubens, who employed him to work in his workshop from c.1610. This picture, bears witness to the influence of Rubens on Snyders’ art in the motif of the boar’s head on a platter, top right, which is copied from Rubens’ Recognition of Philopoemen of a few years earlier (now in the Musée du Louvre in Paris). Snyders brought a sense of baroque grandeur to still life painting in the seventeenth century, which proved highly influential.
The painting was probably acquired by the 4th Marquess of Hertford after 1852.
