"Fruit Grapes, peaches, apples and a pear on a Waanli 'kraak' porcelain plate, with other fruit on a ledge" is a still life painting by the 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 dead game, which were popular subjects during the 17th century in the Netherlands. This particular work exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, capturing the play of light on the delicate skin of the fruit and the reflective properties of the porcelain.

The painting features an array of ripe fruits carefully arranged on a 'kraak' porcelain plate, a type of Chinese export porcelain that was highly prized in Europe during Assteyn's time. The 'kraak' porcelain, characterized by its paneled decoration and often featuring motifs such as peonies and other floral designs, serves as a testament to the Dutch fascination with and importation of exotic goods during the period of the Dutch East India Company's prominence.

Assteyn's composition not only showcases his technical prowess but also reflects the themes of abundance and transience that were common in Dutch still life paintings. The meticulous depiction of the fruit, with attention to the varying textures and colors, invites the viewer to contemplate both the beauty of the natural world and the impermanence of earthly pleasures.

The painting is a fine example of Assteyn's work and contributes to our understanding of Dutch still life painting, offering insights into the cultural and economic context of the 17th-century Netherlands. It remains an important piece for study by art historians and enthusiasts alike, providing a window into the era's artistic trends and the broader historical fascination with collecting and displaying objects from around the world.
