- Born into an Amsterdam family of artists, Jan van Huysum studied with his father, Justus van Huysum, who was also a flower painter. This composition of fruit and flowers includes grapes, a melon, peaches, a pomegranate, a hollyhock, a cornflower and convolvulus. These blooms decorate a stone ledge, with a classical urn and poppy to the left. The painting was acquired by Sir Richard Wallace in 1872.
