"Apples, peaches, walnuts and a snail on a stone 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 fruits, flowers, and dead game with a high degree of naturalism, which was characteristic of the period's fascination with the natural world and its transient beauty.

This particular work exemplifies Assteyn's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, capturing the play of light on the varied forms and the subtle gradations of color. The composition typically features an arrangement of apples, peaches, and walnuts, all common still life subjects that symbolize the abundance and sensory pleasures of the material world. The inclusion of a snail, often seen as a symbol of both humility due to its slow movement and the transience of life, adds a layer of vanitas symbolism to the painting, reminding viewers of the fleeting nature of earthly delights.

The painting is executed on a stone ledge, a common element in still life paintings of the era, which grounds the composition and adds to the illusion of three-dimensionality. Assteyn's meticulous attention to detail not only celebrates the beauty of the natural world but also showcases his mastery of the still life genre, which was gaining popularity in the Netherlands during the 17th century.

"Apples, peaches, walnuts and a snail on a stone ledge" remains a significant work within Assteyn's oeuvre, reflecting both the artistic trends of his time and his personal artistic legacy. The painting is an important example of Dutch still life painting, contributing to our understanding of the genre's development and the cultural context in which it flourished.
