"A Dutch Delft blue and white bowl with grapes, prawns on a pewter plate, crabs, a partly-peeled lemon and a melon on a partly-draped table" is a still life painting by Flemish artist Alexander Coosemans (1627–1689). This artwork exemplifies the Baroque period's fascination with detailed, realistic depictions of inanimate objects, showcasing Coosemans' skill in capturing textures and the interplay of light and shadow. The painting features an arrangement of various objects that were considered exotic and luxurious at the time, reflecting the wealth and cultural curiosity of the Dutch Golden Age.

The composition centers on a Delftware bowl, a type of blue and white pottery made in the Netherlands that was highly prized in the 17th century. The bowl is filled with ripe grapes, symbolizing abundance and possibly referencing the biblical connotations of the fruit. Adjacent to the bowl, a pewter plate holds freshly caught prawns, and nearby, crabs add to the maritime theme, suggesting the importance of trade and the sea to Dutch prosperity. A partly-peeled lemon, with its vibrant color and intricate texture, draws the viewer's eye and may represent the fleeting nature of life, a common theme in still life paintings. Finally, a sliced melon rests on the table, its fleshy interior exposed, further demonstrating Coosemans' ability to render different surfaces and materials.

The setting includes a partly-draped table, which allows Coosemans to display his dexterity in depicting various fabrics and surfaces. The drapery adds a sense of depth and luxury to the scene, while also leading the viewer's gaze through the composition. The painting is not only a celebration of material wealth and sensory pleasure but also serves as a showcase for the artist's technical prowess and the era's interest in the natural world and its objects.

Alexander Coosemans was known for his still life and genre paintings, and this work is a fine example of his contribution to the genre. While the exact date of creation is not specified, it is likely from the mid to late 17th century, during Coosemans' mature period. The painting remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Flemish still life painting and provides insight into the cultural and artistic values of the time.
