Pieter PIETERSZ (1540-1603). A peasant with a basket of eggs - Lot 142
Pieter PIETERSZ (1540-1603). A peasant with a basket of eggs ("do not put all your eggs in one basket"?) Oak panel, three planks, reinforced Height: 82.5 cm Width: 65 cm Signed with the monogram on the left and dated 1567 Provenance : Old Masters sale in London, Sotheby's, December 8, 2011, n°191 Dr. Peter van den Brink, whom we thank, has confirmed the attribution of this painting to Pieter Pietersz. This is the oldest known work of Pietersz, with the "Gortenteller", the barleycorn counter, of the town hall of Saint-Gilles (St. Gillis) in Brussels, also dated 1567 is that could be a possible counterpart to our panel. Both paintings are in the vein of market scenes by his father Pieter Aertsen (1508-1575), and probably allude to proverbs of that time. Expert: Cabinet Turquin Paris. Dimensions: 65 x 82.5 cm.
