"Grapes in a basket, with pears, plums, cheese, butter in a porcelain dish, pastries on a pewter dish and a knife on a partially draped table" is a still life painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten. Known for his detailed and sumptuous still life compositions, van Schooten was active in Haarlem during the early 17th century, a period that saw the burgeoning of still life as a respected genre in Northern European art.

This particular work by van Schooten exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering textures and surfaces with meticulous attention to detail. The painting features an array of fruits, including grapes, pears, and plums, arranged in a woven basket and scattered on a table. The composition also includes dairy products—cheese and butter—presented in a delicate porcelain dish, indicative of the era's fascination with fine tableware and the burgeoning trade with the Far East. Pastries on a pewter dish add to the variety of textures and forms, while a knife with its blade catching the light lies on the table, suggesting the immediacy of a meal about to be enjoyed.

The partially draped table not only adds a sense of depth and perspective to the composition but also showcases van Schooten's ability to depict different materials, from the soft folds of the fabric to the reflective surfaces of the pewter and porcelain. The painting is a testament to the Dutch preoccupation with domesticity, trade, and the pleasures of the senses during the 17th century.

As a work of art, "Grapes in a basket, with pears, plums, cheese, butter in a porcelain dish, pastries on a pewter dish and a knife on a partially draped table" is significant for its contribution to the still life genre, offering insights into the cultural and economic milieu of the Dutch Golden Age. It remains an important piece for study and appreciation, reflecting the era's artistic achievements and the societal values reflected in the detailed depiction of everyday objects.
