This is a painting of a basket maker's shop with various baskets displayed. Inside a showcase, numerous baskets are arranged along the walls of a compartment with a blue background. The showcase is depicted from a slightly angled viewpoint, and a small rectangular sign overhead reads "BASKET MAKER" on a blue background. Several baskets of different shapes and sizes are hung or propped up on displays. The shelf below the baskets holds additional products like a stool and a small table adorned with a cloth.

Basket Maker's Store

A basket overflowing with flowers sits on a table alongside fruit, berries, and seashells in this horizontal still life painting. The wide, low straw-colored basket has a woven base and more open, rib-like sides. The bouquet is made up of white and pink roses, a sky-blue iris and another with pale yellow and lavender-purple leaves. There are also a carnation striped with red and white, flame-orange poppies, and at least three tulips, including one that is scarlet red, a white tulip veined with red, and one with red petals streaked with yellow. Other flowers and dark green stems and leaves fill out the arrangement. The basket sits on a slate-gray tabletop that extends off both sides of the painting. Four shells sit to our left of the basket. These include a woodcock murex shell with a spiraling head with spikes and a long, spiny tail; an elongated, smooth conch shell with an ivory-white and brown calico surface; and light blue snail shell. Finally, closest to us, the largest, spiraling triton shell is occupied by a hermit crab. A sprig of glowing red berries sits at the front center of the composition. To our right, a cluster of fruit includes purple and green grapes on the vines, red cherries, a red plum, and two pieces of yellow and blush-pink fruit. The scene is lit from our left against a darkened background, so a dragonfly in the upper right corner is nearly lost in shadow. The artist signed the painting in the lower left corner, “B.vander.ast.”

This painting features an arrangement of fruit in a basket with a green parrot perched on a branch. The yellow woven basket contains an assortment of fruit, including a prominent orange pear, green and red grapes, purple plums, a pink peach, and small pink berries, all in front of a large green gourd. Some green leaves and brown branches also extend upwards out of the basket. The parrot is situated on a branch that extends upward from the left side of the basket of fruit. The bird is mostly light green but has vibrant, reddish-orange feathers on its tail and the ends of its wings. Its head is turned to the left, away from the basket, and its hooked beak is open.

Basket of Fruit with Parrot

A basket holding a pile of several kinds of fruit and two blue and white porcelain plates nearly fills this horizontal still life painting. More fruit is scattered around the smoke-gray ledge on which the basket sits, and the background is purple-tinged gray. The basket sits near the back edge of the ledge, and it has ribbed sides so pieces of round fruit, perhaps apples, are visible inside. Green, red, and purple grapes, green and orange grape leaves, apples, plums, apricots, an orange, and a quince are piled between the two blue-painted plates, which are propped in the basket at an angle to hold the fruit like cupped hands. More fruit, including plums, quince, cherries, and medlars, cover most of the ledge around the basket. The scene is lit from our left so the fruit casts shadows to our right. The artist signed the painting near the lower right corner, “B. vander. ast.”

This is a photograph of a woven circular basket with a star pattern. The basket is made from a natural material, likely straw or similar fibers, intricately coiled in a spiral formation from the center outward.

The rim of the basket is adorned with evenly spaced stripes, matching the darker color of the star. The weaves are detailed and uniform, highlighting the skilled craftsmanship behind the piece.
