"A Basket with Grapes, a Roemer, and Cherries on a Partly Draped Ledge" is a still life painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Bartholomeus Assteyn (1607–1669/1677). Assteyn, known for his detailed and realistic still lifes, often depicted arrangements of fruit, flowers, and objects that were rich in symbolism and meticulously rendered. This particular painting exemplifies the genre of vanitas still life, which flourished in the Netherlands during the 17th century, serving as a reminder of the transience of life and the futility of pleasure.

The artwork features a composition that includes a basket brimming with ripe grapes, a roemer (a type of wine glass with a stemmed foot popular in the Netherlands during the 17th century), and cherries, all situated on a ledge that is partially covered by a draped cloth. The choice of objects and their arrangement is deliberate, showcasing Assteyn's skill in capturing the textures and colors of the natural and man-made elements, as well as his ability to create a balanced and harmonious composition.

The painting is notable for its attention to detail and the interplay of light and shadow, which highlights the tactile qualities of the fruit skins and the glass's transparency. The depiction of the roemer, often associated with conviviality and the pleasures of the senses, alongside the perishable fruit, may suggest a moralistic message about the ephemerality of such delights.

Assteyn's work is an example of the Northern Baroque period's fascination with still life and the exploration of moral themes through everyday objects. "A Basket with Grapes, a Roemer, and Cherries on a Partly Draped Ledge" not only displays the artist's technical prowess but also reflects the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of his time. The painting remains a significant piece within Assteyn's oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of Dutch still life painting in art history.
