Description
Dutch School of the late 18th century after a work by Jan Davidsz de Heem. Canvas 100 cm by 74 cm Frame 113 cm by 87.5 Our beautifully crafted painting is based on a painting by Jan Davidsz de Heem (collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid under reference P002090) with variations. Rich objects surrounded by fruit and oysters are placed on a table partially covered with a blue velvet tablecloth. Among the objects to note are a pocket watch and a very beautiful upturned silver cup. The scene shows us open oysters, a half-peeled orange, an upturned cup, half-empty glasses, and an open watch, all signs of a message of vanity in the riches of life. Jan Davidsz de Heem (1606, 1683) De Heem was born in Utrecht as Johannes van Antwerpen. He first studied with his father David de Heem the Elder (1570-1631), then with Balthasar van der Ast. He lived in Leiden from 1625 to 1629, where he studied in 1629 with David Bailly (1584, 1657). He moved to the southern Netherlands and joined the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke around 1635 and became a burgess of that city in 1637. However, he was often absent, as evidenced by the fees he had to pay for this. His remarkable talent earned him a considerable reputation. He could hardly keep up with the demand. De Heem was considered one of the greatest painters of his time. He was well paid, and a portrait of Prince William III surrounded by a cartouche of flowers and fruit was sold for 2,000 guilders, one of the highest prices ever paid for a painting during the Dutch Golden Age. His sons worked with him in his studio on commissions for new paintings. He retouched their works and added his signature to the pictures. He remained in Antwerp until 1667, when he returned to Utrecht, where records show his presence from 1668 to 1671. He left Utrecht in 1671 as French troops approached the city. It is not known when he finally returned to Antwerp, but his death there is recorded in the guild books. Van Heem married twice, first to Alette van Weede, with whom he had three surviving children at his death in 1643, one of whom, Cornelis, would become a still-life painter. He married a second time in 1644 to Anna Catherina Ruckers with whom he had six more children, including Jan, who also became a still life painter. Besides his two sons, he had several apprentices: Michiel Verstylen, Alexander Coosemans, Thomas de Klerck, Lenaert Rougghe, Theodor Aenvanck, Andries Benedetti, Elias van den Broeck, Jacob Marrel, Hendrik Schoock, and Abraham Mignon.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
