"Still Life of Medlars, Redcurrants, Grapes and a Dragonfly" is a 1686 oil on paper mounted on wood painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Adriaen Coorte. Known for his simple yet poignant still lifes, Coorte's work often features modest subjects that are rendered with a remarkable attention to detail and a keen sense of lighting. This particular painting is a fine example of Coorte's mastery in depicting still life subjects with a sense of tranquility and timelessness.

The painting presents a carefully arranged composition of medlars, redcurrants, and grapes, accompanied by a dragonfly, all resting on a stone ledge. The fruits are depicted with a lifelike vibrancy, their textures and colors contrasting against the muted background. Coorte's use of light and shadow not only highlights the natural beauty of the fruits but also adds depth and volume to the composition. The inclusion of a dragonfly adds an element of spontaneity and movement to the otherwise static arrangement, suggesting the fleeting nature of life and the momentary intersection of the natural world with the human-crafted still life.

"Still Life of Medlars, Redcurrants, Grapes and a Dragonfly" exemplifies the themes of vanitas and memento mori that are prevalent in Dutch still life paintings of the period, reminding viewers of the impermanence of life and the inevitability of decay. Coorte's work, while less known than that of his contemporaries, has gained recognition for its unique aesthetic and contribution to the still life genre. This painting, like many of Coorte's works, is characterized by its small size and intimate scale, inviting viewers to engage closely with the depicted objects and contemplate their beauty and symbolism.

The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the scholarly reassessment of Coorte's place within the context of 17th-century Dutch art. Its precise location and ownership, however, may not be publicly disclosed due to privacy considerations of private collectors.
